Ringøy
Ringøy is a small village in the municipality of Ullensvang in Hordaland county, Norway.
The settlement lies on the south side of the Eid Fjord, an inner branch of the Hardanger Fjord. The ferry quay at Ringøy served the ferry connection to Ulvik until 1938, when the quay on the south side of the fjord was relocated to Brimnes. Ringøy lies about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) north of the village of Kinsarvik, the municipal seat, and about 20 kilometers (12 mi) east of Eidfjord in the municipality of Eidfjord.
Norwegian National Road 13 passes through Ringøy. There is a campsite next to the fjord in the village.
