Day 1: Arrival in Voss and check-in at Fleischer's Hotel

 

For over 150 years, Fleischer’s Hotel has been a fantastic place to experience Norway’s many natural wonders. Fredrik Lyth Ørum Fleischer opened the hotel in 1864, and it has been operated by five generations of Fleischers ever since. This Swiss-style hotel has entertained royalty for decades, with its walls showcasing the artifacts and documents of its esteemed guests. Conveniently located right next to the train station it is easy to get here whether you travel from Eastern or Western Norway. 

 

After a day out exploring, feel free to relax in the hotel's wellness area with a swimming pool, children's pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym. Enjoy the facilities and historic surroundings and end each day with a local dinner (served at 7 pm). 

 

Day 2: The Fruit and cider route in Ulvik

Start the day with a delicious breakfast in the hotel's restaurant before you make your way towards Ulvik in beautiful Hardanger.

 

Upon arrival in Ulvik you can start the tour on your own from the Tourist information / centre of Ulvik where you walk along the fjord to the start of Apalvegen. There is a 30-45 minutes walk from the center to the farms - approx. 1300 meters. You then turn left and follow the sign that says "Fruit and Siderruta" and continue up towards the first farm, located about 10 minutes away. See map here.

 

In this tour we have included one cider tasting with a guided tours at 15:00. The tasting will be held at either of the farms Ulvik Frukt & Cideri, Syse Gard or Hardanger Saft & Siderfabrikk - depending on the day. Before and after tasting you can pay a visit the other farms to see, hear an taste more. The farm shops are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00-17:00.

 

The Fruit and Cider Route is a collaboration between Hardanger Saft- og Siderfabrikk, Syse Farm, and Ulvik Frukt & Cideri. Yearly, the group hosts festivals in May (Siderslepp; celebrating their ciders) and October (Fruktslepp; celebrating the fruit harvest). All farms have outlets selling cider and other farm produce, such as fresh fruit, meat and apple juice, so we do recommend visiting all three.
