Austfjorden (Vestland)
On the north side of the Austfjorden there are several deep bays. The first of these is the 2-kilometre (1 mi) long Mjangersvågen with the small village of Mjanger the head of the bay. The next two are Nordkvingevågen with a harbor area at the village of Nordkvingo and Sørekvingevågen with a harbor at the village of Sørkvingo. Between these two lies the cape Melshovden. A little further south into the fjord is the Kjekallevågen bay where there is a causeway and a bridge at the mouth of the bay. At the Kjekallevågen bay, the Austefjorden stretches 6 kilometres (4 mi) farther southeast and the Hidnesfjorden branches off to the west and heads south for about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi). At the head of the Hidnesfjorden, there is a 1.7-kilometre (1.1 mi) wide isthmus of land that separates this fjord from the Osterfjorden to the south. The village of Ostereidet lies on the isthmus.
