Fjærland Kyrkje

This beautiful wooden church, painted a deep shade of red, dates back to 1861. It's a popular photo stop because of the snow-covered mountain peaks in the background.

Jostedalsbreen

Covering the mountains between the Sognefjord and Nordfjord, Jostedal Glacier is not only the biggest glacier in Norway, but it's also the largest glacier in continental Europe. It stretches across almost 200 square miles and has dozens of branches. One of the most popular is Briksdalsbreen, which is near Olden and is accessible on guided tours in “troll cars” (aka buggies). There are also about 100 known routes for crossing the glacier, but traveling by car is the easiest. If you want to hike it, you must have a qualified guide; contact the Jostedalsbreen National Park Centre ( visitjostedalsbreen.no) for guide recommendations. Express buses run in the summer months.
