At the southern tip of Norway, there is the country in miniature or so it has become titled. Stord has become known as “Norway in miniature” due to the variation of landscapes and coastlines on offer. If you’re hiring a car in Stord then first and foremost you’ll want to explore the island as a whole and you can easily drive to the mainland should you need to - there is Northern Europe’s longest underwater tunnel to get you from A to B. There’s a distinct divide between the industrial parts of the island and the more scenic and stunning nature to see, from fjords to glaciers, rugged landscape and a look across the waters to the rest of the archipelago of islands nearby.
Given the waters that surround Stord, and the proximity to the North Sea, fishing on the island is popular with locals and visitors alike. Hiring a car from Stord allows you to transport all the essentials for a day of fishing and have a convenient trip home at the end of the day. There are ferry services from the north of the island via the 545, otherwise use the main highway, the E39, on the opposite side of the island to travel via road to islands and locations south of Stord. Rent a car in Stord and take the ten minute drive to Litlabø for a guided tour of the mine. It was in operation from 1865 for just over a century so will give you a good feel for the history in the area.
