Nese, Norway

Nese (or Arnafjord) is a village in Vik Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.

Nese sits about 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of the village of Vikøyri, at the end of the road.

The next village to the west of Nese is Ortnevik in Høyanger Municipality about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) away.

But since there is no direct road connection from Nese, one would have to drive 37 kilometres (23 mi) northeast, cross the Sognefjorden by ferry, drive another 60 kilometres (37 mi) west, cross the Sognefjorden by ferry, and then get off the ferry at Ortnevik—a grand total of about 115 kilometres (71 mi).

On the night of 2 December 1811, there was a large rock slide from the mountain immediately west of Nese, which sent large rocks and boulders falling and rolling right through the small village, and killing 45 people (out of the 60 or so that were living there).
