Bondhusvatnet & Bondhusbreen
Bondhusvatnet
An emerald glacial lake on the southern outskirts of Rosendal, with the Bondhusbreen glacier tongue reflected in its waters at the far end; the easy trail suits the whole family and is hailed as one of Norway's most beautiful lake views.
From the Sundal village parking lot, follow the old 19th-century ice-hauling road for about 2 km (around 40 minutes) to the lakeshore. The path is gentle and can even be walked with a stroller. Rock flour from glacial meltwater turns the lake a milky green, and the glacier tongue hangs down from a mountain pass in the distance. Continuing about 2 km along the lake brings you closer to the glacier. Entry is free; parking is charged. From Odda, it takes about 40 minutes' drive to Rosendal via the Folgefonna Tunnel.
