Norheimsund is the administrative centre of the municipality of Kvam in Vestland county, Norway.
The village is located on the northern side of the Hardangerfjord, about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the city of Bergen.
The waterfall Steinsdalsfossen, as of 2006 the 6th most visited natural tourist attraction in Norway, is located in Steine, just west of Norheimsund[3] before the entrance to the Toka Gorge.
The waterfront area in Norheimsund has been redeveloped and beautified, and has won awards for development (in 2000) and for attractiveness (in 2013).
