BRIKSDAL GLACIER

Briksdalsbreen is one of the most visited nature attractions in western Norway.
You walk on a nice road all the way, from you pass the restaurant in Briksdal. There is also a possibility for transport with open cars up to the glacier. The trip goes through a beautiful landscape where the sight of waterfalls and glaciers may take your breath away. The road is easy to walk because farmers in Oldedalen created roads and bridges for easy access here, more than 120 years ago. If you do not want to walk, you can go by a open car, more information about these “Trollcars” on the link under.

Finally, you cross the border to Jostedalsbreen National Park, and get to Briksdal’s glacier lake, where you can see the glacier stretching up towards the plateau 1500 m.a.s.l.
