Olden
A small cruise port village on the shore of Nordfjord with an old wooden church, and the starting point for trips to Briksdal Glacier and Lake Oldevatnet.
Olden lies on the south shore of Innvikfjorden, the innermost arm of Nordfjord, and is an important cruise port in western Norway, with large cruise ships docking almost every day in summer. The village's most famous landmark is Old Olden Church, completed in 1759. This white wooden church has hand-painted decoration inside and is open to visitors in summer. Near the pier you'll find cafés, souvenir shops, and sightseeing bus stops. From here, you can follow the road south along Oldevatnet to the Briksdal Glacier. Olden is a good base for glacier trips, and you can explore the village itself in half an hour.
Opening hours
All day (the old church opens approx. 10:00–17:00 in summer)
