Djønno is a small village on the Oksen Peninsula in the municipality of Ullensvang[2] [3] in Norway's Hardanger district, in Vestland county.
Djønno lies near the sea on the west side of the Eid Fjord, about 10km (10miles) south of the ferry station in Bruravik. The nearest neighboring village is Kaland, which lies 1km (01miles) further into the fjord. Djønno is known for its fruit orchards.
The village first received a road connection in 1981, when it was connected by Norwegian County Road 302[4] to the northeast. Before that, passengers and cargo were transported to and from the village by boat. Now people from Djønno can travel much more easily to the neighboring municipalities of Granvin and Ulvik than to Kinsarvik, the administrative center of their own municipality. Today, young people from Djønno attend school in Granvin.
The name of the village is also used as a surname, spelled Djønne.
