Engen Brygge

Highlight • Rest Area

pier of the ship. Tip: rent bikes here (100 NOK in 2022) and cycle the 3 km to the end of the valley. Brings a gain in time for the "scramble" on the glacier.

Set across the fjord by boat, our bikes were allowed with us. Then cycled 3km to the start of the hike...then we went up to the glacier.
