In August 2020 we traveled to beautiful Jostedalsbreen National Park in Sogn og Fjordane, a national park in Norway that encompasses the largest glacier on the European mainland, Jostedalsbreen. The park now covers 1,310 square kilometers, with the glaciers covering about 800 square kilometers of the park.

We started our journey heading to Stryn and gorgeous Lovatnet and unbelievable color of the water. The green color comes from the meltwater from the glaciers that lie on the mountain peaks around. Driving a camper or caravan is a bit too narrow and you should consider it, especially in high season. Video will give you an overview and an impression of the road.

Glacier Jostedalsbreen has several good approach places and we had to choose only several of them that we like best and leave others for next trips.

#Kjenndalenbreen
At the end of Lodalen, you will find Kjenndalenbreen. The beautiful drive through Lodalen to the glacier is worth the trip alone. The narrow roads and the enchanting green-blue lake are a sight, and if you are in the area, you must stop by.

#Bøyabreen
Bøyabreen Glacier is the easier to approach the glacier. At least two parking lots and one is suitable for overnight stop with all facilities you might need. Just 5 minutes walk and you will enjoy the glacier.

#Nigardsbreen
Nigardsbreen (Nigards glacier) is another glacier with easy access but will require some driving through a nice valley. After a short boat trip across the glacier lake (60 NOK for round trip) you can get close to the blue ice on your own or join glacier guides up on the ice.

#StyggevatnDam
Styggevatnet is a glacial lake from the glacier Jostedalsbreen. The lake is regulated by a dam and it empties into the river Jostedøla.

About Us:
We are traveling across Norway with camper Hymer Eriba Troll 530 Rockabilly. Most of our trips are relatively short and start from Fredrikstad in Norway. For those who is limited in time, you might discover what you could see during a two-day or three-day trip in Southern Norway.

You are welcome to leave your questions in a comment to the video and we will try answer our best!
