      Fjærland is a sleepy little village by the fjord. There are bookshops and bookstalls everywhere.

        Fjærland is the name of the area around the Fjærlandsfjord, which is a branch of the Sognefjord. Fjærland has about 300 inhabitants. The town center is called Mundal.

        In Mundal you will find i.a. School, church, hotels and tourist information. The church was built in 1861 and remodeled in 1931. It is open to visitors.

        The Norwegian Book City, which consists of several quaint antiquarian bookshops, is also located in Mundal. When it opened in 1996, it was the eighth of its kind in the world and the first in Scandinavia.

          This part of the fjord was only accessible by boat until the 1980s. With the completion of the road and the end of the ferry service in 1986, the place lost its importance as a central port of call. In search of new meaning, it became one of the internationally renowned book cities. Many houses have bookcases with literature from all over the world.
          For hikers and campers it is a good opportunity as a supply base.
