2 Best Sights in The Western Fjords, Norway

Home to Norway's third-largest glacier, Folgefonna National Park is popular for its kayaking and, of course, hiking on the glacier. From the top of the glacier there are beautiful valleys stretching all the way down to the fjord, and visiting Folgefonna is something you will remember. The National Park has several places of entry, with Odda and Rosendal (with the visitor center) being two popular ones, and several hikes and glacier arms you can explore, in addition to beautiful valleys with waterfalls of melting water from the glacier.

Many of the Jostedal Glacier’s smaller arms are tourist attractions in their own right. The best known of them, Briksdal Glacier, lies at the end of Oldedal Valley, about 20 km (12 miles) south of Olden. It can be visited by bicycle, by car, or on foot from April to October.
