A tiny village on the route between Bergen and Voss

Evanger is a beautiful, small village, one hour by car/train from Bergen and 20 minutes from Voss, situated where the river Vosso flows into Evangervatnet and surrounded on all sides by mountains and beautiful nature. Within walking distance there is a shop and café, workshops and other activities, hiking trails, and the start of The Green Loop, a spectacular round trip by bike or car.

Evanger has a rich history, and the old street and houses here are listed as an area of special historic interest. Between the church and the old town hall, a monument has been erected in memory of Knute Nelson, a little boy who was born in poverty in Evanger and emigrated with his mother, and eventually became a legislator and senator in America. He stands as a symbol of the struggle and fate of some of the poor who emigrated from Norway in the 19th century.

From Evanger it is easy to get to Gudvangen, Flåm, Voss, Bergen and other places in the vicinity, by car, train and bus; you can also take one of the Norway in a nutshell round trips or do a similar trip on your own. 

There is free parking outside the house, and Evanger station and bus stops are a stone's throw from the house, with good connections to Voss, Bergen and Oslo. In winter, the morning and afternoon trains correspond with a free shuttle bus to Myrkdalen ski resort and with the gondola, which goes directly to the Bavallen ski resort.
