Førde Fjord
The Førde Fjord is a fjord in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is the longest of all the fjords in the traditional district of Sunnfjord. It passes through the municipalities of FørdeNaustdalAskvoll, and Flora. The fjord begins at the town of Førde, at the estuary of the river Jølstra, which comes from the lake Jølstravatn. The water then travels west towards the town of Florø where the long fjord splits into the Brufjorden and Stavfjorden before reaching the sea. The island of Svanøya lies just outside the mouth of the fjord. There are roads along the shoreline on both the north and south sides of the fjord, and the European route E39 highway runs past the town of Førde, near the fjord.
