Trengereid is a village in the borough of Arna in the municipality of Bergen in Hordaland county, Norway.[2]

History

In 1895, Johan Jebsen established a factory in Trengereid. The factory produced ribbons and lace, and it had its own power plant.[3] Today the Trengereid power plant has been modernized and is operated by BKK. Previously there was also mining at nearby Risnes, where lime was extracted.[4]

Infrastructure

Trengereid School

Above Trengereid there is a roundabout that routes traffic between Norwegian County Road 7 to Hardanger and European route E16 eastwards to Voss and westward to Bergen's city center, or via a bypass road down to Trengereid.[2][5]

Trengereid Station on the Bergen Line between Bergen and Myrdal via Voss stands below the village.
