Jostedalsbreen National Park












 I was the driver on duty today and we started from the ferry 200 feet from the campground. It was a long drive to the Jostedalsbreen National Park Centre (Jostedalsbreen 

Nasjonalparksenter) to emerse in the views. This park encompasses the largest glacier on the European mainland, but we had enough snow/glacier hiking the other day, so skipped hiking here.  There are so many glacier lakes, mountains, fjords with hiking trails all over Norway that you can free camping then hike anywhere you want.


Then we took many stops on the 27-km narrow Old Strynefjell Mountain Road (Old Road 258) between the villages of Skjåk and Stryn, a cultural heritage. Old, handmade stone walls and long rows of guard stones are the hallmarks of this mountain crossing that dates back more than a century, with views of the Videfossen Waterfall (Buldrefossen), a ski resort, etc. Enjoyed another sunny cool day, then checked in a high-end campground with Modern furnitures, on-site waterfall, and gorgeous  Geiranger fjord views.
