Frønningen
Frønningen is a village in Lærdal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the far northwestern corner of the municipality, east of where the Aurlandsfjorden empties into the main Sognefjorden. Prior to 1992, this area was a part of the old Leikanger Municipality, but on 1 January 1992 it was transferred to Lærdal Municipality. Frønningen only had 17 inhabitants in 2001, and there is no outside road connection. The only access to Frønningen is by a ferry that goes between the three villages of Kaupanger, Frønningen, and Gudvangen.
