Eidfjord has a small inhabited lowland around the fjord and Eidfjordvatnet, but an extensive hinterland on Hardangervidda. The ascent through Måbødalen from farms and fjord to high mountains shapes travel, livelihoods and tourism.
The great differences in elevation support two major activities: tourism around places such as Vøringsfossen and electricity generation from mountain water. Parts of the power infrastructure lie inside the rock, far less visible than the landscape supplying them.
