Geirangerfjord & Jostedalsbreen National park

Geirangerfjord

A fairytale by the fjord

The deep blue UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord is surrounded 

by majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, wild waterfalls and lush,
 green vegetation.

I  have  many  pictures  of this  most picturesque places , starting  from the views from the hotel room at midnight.  For nature lovers, the Geirangerfjord has plenty to offer. Experience the fjords and the waterfalls from one of the many available sightseeing trips. 

This was with Day 1 with Niral. Geirangerfjord, followed by Dalsnibba view point, 100+ KM water side drive to and t Jostedalsbreen national  park  Geirangerfjord, the pearl and the peak  of many spectacular fjords, renowned for its steep cliff,  tal slender waterfalls (750 ft) and photo opportunities galore.   The road to Jostedalsbreen national  park  Via Dalsnibba  and Gamle- Strynefjellasvegan  with waterfront drive, hike to   Briksdalsbreen glacier even  prettier. Pictures from Midnight views from the room to   Briksdalsbreen glacier, most scenic 24 hours. Per fitbit, walked  20,000 steps  and 95 floors in that day.

The stops at Djupvasshytta  restaurant on the way to Dalsnibba was very beautiful. Next stop was at the    Hjelle Hotel. It is  is a charming hotel. Hjelle lies at the eastern end of Lake Oppstrynsvatnet, midway between Stryn Sommerskisenter (20 km) and Stryn township (27 km). Nice lake and views

Jostedalsbreen National Park

Almost half of the Jostedalsbreen National Park is covered by the Jostedalsbreen glacier, which is the largest glacier in mainland Europe. The national park is famous for its wide variety of natural environments all within a short distance of each other, ranging from valleys with lush vegetation to bare mountain and glacier landscapes. A short hike in this area is like hiking from one season to another.
