From Wikipedia

Holmefjord is a village in Bjørnafjorden Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located near the shore along the Samnangerfjorden about 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) northwest of the village of Eikelandsosen. Holmefjord is a small typical western Norwegian village. In 1960, there were 2 general stores, a dairy, and a local bakery. Due to a contemporary transportation system and lifestyle (as of 2006), most of that is gone and there is only one general store left.
