Trail description

Walk from Breheimsenteret in Jostedalen through Nigardsbreen nature reserve to the front of the Nigardsbreen glacier, the last part on a rougher path along Nigardsbrevatnet. UT.no describes the route as well prepared but warns that some rock slabs are slippery in rain; a boat across the lake can be booked as an alternative. The route ends at the glacier front.
