Stad

Stad or Stadlandet is a peninsula in Stad Municipality in the northwestern part of the Nordfjord district in Vestland county in Norway. The peninsula is considered the dividing point between the Norwegian Sea to the north and the North Sea to the south. The name is sometimes also written as Stadt, Statt, or Statlandet , because the Norwegian pronunciation of the d in this case is as a t. Some of the larger villages on the peninsula include Ervik , Borgundvåg and Leikanger , and the village of Selje .

The peninsula is a 500-metre-high mountain plateau topped by the 645-metre-tall Tarvaldsegga peak. There are several lower valleys on the peninsula, but at the western end, the plateau plunges into the sea in a 497-metre-tall cliff at Kjerringa.
