Brimnes is a small village in the municipality of Eidfjord in Vestland county, Norway.

The ferry service was discontinued after the construction of the Hardanger Bridge.

[1] The folklorist Halldor O. Opedal argued that the name Brimnes is incorrect, and that the correct form of the name should be Brynnes, connecting the name with the verb bryne 'to land (a boat)'.

[5] Der brynte dei eller lende med båtane sine på garden, og sjølve seier folki Brynnes med y. Bremnes med e er ei form som kontorfolk hev gripe ut or lufti.

[5]There they dragged their boats ashore or landed them at their farms, and the people themselves pronounce Brynnes with a y. Bremnes with an e is a form that pencil-pushers pulled out of the air.
