Norway – Jostedalsbreen, Sogndal, Solvorn and Urnes
Jostedalsbreen glacier far viewLet’s say that my wife is not the kind of person who loves to be in remote regions away from civilization or so-called dangerous extreme activities.
Some years ago I heard about the omnipotent Jostedalsbreen Glacier, the largest glacier in Europe. Early in the planning of the trip I put it in the plans and showed the photo above to Roberta and said:
“Honey, what do you think of a hiking in Europe’s largest glacier in central Norway? For that we only need to take a flying close to the fjords, down from an airport that sits on the edge of a mountain, and stay a few days at a hostel in a city that only has 200 people. What do you say? 🙂 “
Imagine her reaction…
