Jostedalsbreen National Park Centre
Jostedalsbreen Nasjonalparksenter
A glacier museum on the shore of Strynsvatnet that introduces mainland Europe's largest glacier through exhibitions, panoramic films, and an outdoor geological garden.
The Jostedalsbreen National Park Centre is located in Oppstryn, about 20 km east of Stryn town, right beside Lake Strynsvatnet and Route 15. It is the visitor center on the north side of the glacier. Inside are exhibits on glacier formation and climate change, a panoramic glacier film, and displays of plant and animal specimens. Outdoors, a geological garden showcases Norwegian rocks and alpine plants. It's a good place to learn the background before a glacier hike, and it suits rainy days and families with children. Adult admission is about NOK 150, and it is open in summer. Check the official website for hours. It can be visited on the way to Strynefjell and the summer ski centre.
