    Nesahaugen

    Discover the relatively unknown Nesahaugen hike, which offers exceptional views of the Fjærlandsfjord and Jostedalsbreen glaciers. Located near the village of Fjærland, in Norway, the trail passes through a dense forest and continues on to the former mountain pasture of Hamrastølen and the Nesahaugen viewpoint. There, you can enjoy stunning vistas of the fjord and the surrounding mountains. This moderate hike is ideal for lovers of tranquility and wide open spaces.
