National scenic routes

National scenic routes

National Parks are extensive, largely untouched nature areas of unusual scenic or historic interest that are owned by the state and protected to safeguard the rich diversity of Norway’s natural heritage. In the Sognefjord region, you will find two of Norway’s largest and most famous national parks – the Jotunheimen National Park and the Jostedalsbreen National Park. The three largest landscape preservation areas in the county of Sogn og Fjordane are Utladalen, the Nærøyfjord and Stølsheimen in the Sognefjord region.
