The district of Vik is situated on the southern side of Sognefjorden, the longest fjord in the world. Many roadslead to Vik, classified road 13 over Vikafjellet from Bergen and Oslo. The ferry connection Vangsnes – Hella– Dragsvik takes you over Sognefjorden, and the express boat to and from Bergen, twice a day during the summer.
