Oldevatnet
An emerald glacial lake in the Oldedalen valley, with a road leading along it to the Briksdal Glacier, where the lake and waterfalls reflect the snowy peaks.
Oldevatnet lies in the Oldedalen valley south of Olden village and stretches about 11 km. Like Lovatnet, it is fed by glacial meltwater, which gives it its emerald color. County Road 724 follows the lake and is the only route from Olden to the Briksdal Glacier (about 23 km). Along the way, lake bays, farms, and waterfalls on the far shore offer countless spots to pull over for photos, and on calm, clear days the snowy peaks are reflected in the water. Near the southern end, around Yri, you can see branch glaciers such as Brenndalsbreen. Drive slowly and stop often on the way to and from Briksdal. The road is narrow, and summer cruise-ship buses are common, so be patient when passing.
