Undredal is a village that is positioned like an oasis, protected from heavy traffic. It is surrounded by beautiful natural landscape which consists of fjords, mountains with glaciers, forests, waterfalls and free flowing rivers, and a cultural landscape that puts the natural landscape in perspective.
