Olden

Reviewed By ca2nova

Olden was our most scenic stop on a recent cruise. Sailing up Nordfjord is stunning with the mountains and beautifully coloured water. The village of Olden is cute with a bit of shopping for those inclined as well as a nice place to walk around. The old church in the middle of town is worth popping in to see the interior. We chose an excursion up to see Briksdal Glacier - an excellent choice. It included a scenic bus ride followed by a stimulating hike with beautiful views along the way.

2. Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalbreen)

Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalbreen)

Reviewed By watermelon1306

Visited Olden and Briksdal in June and it is definitely worth the visit and it exceeded all my exceptions. As you take the tranquil 45 minute walk to the glacier you are surrounded by breathtaking snow capped mountains, lush green spots of grass and mountain flowers and flowing waterfalls which you can stand beside and soak up its spray of water. However, if walking isn't your thing or you are unable to, you can take a troll car up the winding paths to the glacier although if you are able to make the trek it is 100% worth it.

Nasjonale Turistvegar Gamle Strynefjellsvegen

Reviewed By chongcp - Singapore, Singapore

The very sight of the 19th century stones placed along the old road is a moment in itself, when you realise those same stones have been there for more than a century, protecting those who travelled along it. A very beautiful drive where you must stop often and take photos. But don't forget to just enjoy the view from time to time.

Olden itself is just a small town with a few shops but surrounded by majestic scenery. We took an excursion into the National Park and it is just amazing, arms of the largest glacier in Europe peeping out from every valley, stunning waterfalls and rushing rivers. We took a boat trip from the furthest end of the Fijord practically at the base of the Glacier high above us. Just wonderful.
