The Kjenndalen valley and Kjenndalsbreen glaciers
Kjenndalsbreen is the lowest glacier arm of Jostedalsbreen glacier.
The Kjenndalen valley and Kjenndalsbreen glaciers start at the head of the Lodalen valley.
There is a road from Loen through the valleys Lodalen and Kjenndalen almost all the way to the glacier.
The Kjenndalsbreen glacier is located innermost at the bottom of the valley, 17 km by car from Loen (toll road). It’s a 15-minute walk from the car park to the lowest glacier arm of the Jostedalsbreen. The glaciers grew more than 300 metres between 1980 to 1997 but have receded in recent years.
