  Most beatiful place ever. Hard to climb but in the end you arrive to a beautiful fjord tounge and see the ice which is melting and runing away from the water from year to year.

  Jostedalsbreen National Park (Norwegian: Jostedalsbreen nasjonalpark) is a national park in Norway that encompasses the largest glacier on the European mainland, Jostedalsbreen. The park was established by royal decree on 25 October 1991, and then in 1998, it was enlarged to the northwest. The park now covers 1,310 square kilometres (510 sq mi), with the glaciers covering about 800 square kilometres (310 sq mi) of the park.
  The park lies in the municipalities of Luster, Balestrand, Jølster, Sogndal, Gloppen, Førde, and Stryn, all of which are in Sogn og Fjordane county. There are three museums and also visitors centers: the Breheimsenteret in Jostedal, Jostedalsbreen nasjonalparksenter in Oppstryn (Stryn) and Norsk bremuseum in Fjærland.
  The highest peak in the park is Lodalskåpa at 2,083 metres (6,834 ft). The glacier's highest point, Brenibba, lies 2,018 metres (6,621 ft) above sea level while its lowest point is 350 metres (1,150 ft) above sea level. The glacier has shrunk in recent years, and there are ruins of farms that were overtaken by the glacier in 1750.
  The park was named after the main glacier in it, Jostedalsbreen. The first element of that name is the name of the old municipality Jostedal, the last element is the finite form of the word bre which means "glacier".

  Very accessible glacier hikes and beautiful scenery. Many arms accessible from various points at the edges of the park. And at the end of the season mid-Sept felt like we had it all to ourselves with barely anyone around!!

  Easy walk to glacier. Waterfalls are amazing. They have another waterfall that sounds like it is thundering. Great trails for hiking. They have bouldering and even a climbing rock. Great gift shop.

  Like Briksdalsbreen an awesome experience. It hits you hard seeing the shrinkage of this vast glacier, the biggest on mainland Europe.
