Kjenndalsbreen (12)
Robespierre
![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 181 W: 2 N: 329]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-n-g.gif) (1420) | The Kjenndalsbreen (breen = glacier) in Norway is easy to reach. With the car you have to take a 20 km long toll-road to the glacier. From the parking place you have to walk for another 1/2 an hour to reach the galcier. The Kjenndal is part of the Jostedalsbreen, which is with 1000 km2 the biggest glacier area of Europe. In comparison with the more touristic and well known Briksdalsbreen, which is the neighbour-glacier on the map, you will meet here less people. The glacier is of an extra-ordinary beauty. The blue glacier tongue is very contrasting towards the grey/brown rock formation.
When we visit this place it was a very cloudy day. Also surprising were the big blocks of ice, fallen from the glacier around 60 metres in front of the glacier-tongue. For us the evidence again, that it could be quite dangerous, and that you have to be careful how close you will enter the ice mass. |
