 The small village of Tafjord is located at the end of the long Tafjorden.The only road leading to the rather isolated village of Tafjord goes through the long Heggur Tunnel plus several other smaller tunnels on the northern shore of the fjord.When Olaf II of Norway fled up the Storfjorden to escape the forces of Canute the Great, he and his men journeyed up the fjord until he passed through the Norddalsfjorden and reached the Tafjorden.
