Jostedalsbreen - Briksdalsbreen

Another glacier tongue of the Jostedalsbreen is the Briksdalsbreen which is located in the Oldedal. Actually, there are twin glacier tongues in the valley - Melkevollbreen and Briksdalsbreen and the road is supposed to be quite panoramic. However when we were there, we had either rain or heavy clouds. In summer, the Briksdalsbreen is very touristic with busses driving up there and horse carriages or some kind of motorized vehicles bring the people to the glacier where they can go by boat to the ice (horrible!). Luckily, it was not the tourist season, so we met only one group of Japanese (go figure!) who took pictures of us walking in the rain (no comment). Ah, forgot to mention that there is a waterfall going down the valley and that the path is about 5 km both ways - so if you are not even willing to walk this do Norway a favor and don't plan a vacation there.
