Engen Brygge

Highlight • Rest Area

pier of the ship. Tip: rent bikes here (100 NOK in 2022) and cycle the 3 km to the end of the valley. Brings a gain in time for the "scramble" on the glacier.

We took a ferry across and our hike started in glorious 24 degrees ☀️. You should bring sturdy shoes and enough to drink.
The glacier looks much bigger from below, but you can see from the information boards how big it once was.
We were very impressed...

Set across the fjord by boat, our bikes were allowed with us. Then cycled 3km to the start of the hike...then we went up to the glacier. Fantastically beautiful hike, sure-footedness and physical condition are required. The tour goes over rounded rocks in between incisions. I did the tour and I'm very happy...🍀❣️

We let ourselves be translated by boat. Cost per person: 20 euros for a round trip. The tour is recorded with boat tour. Boat route about 6 km. Distance approx. 10.5 km. At the landing stage you can rent bicycles and use them to cover the first 2 km. Of course we didn't do that 😉. The weather was sunny …
