Sogndal Municipality travel guide
Norway · Top sights · trending spots
Sogndal sits on the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest in Norway — two hundred kilometres inland and more than a kilometre deep in places.
The Nærøyfjord branch, narrow enough to be dark at the bottom, is World Heritage, and the Flåm railway climbs out of it. Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European mainland, sends tongues down valleys nearby. Urnes stave church, from around 1130, is the oldest standing.

Urnes Stave Church
A twelfth-century stave church above the Lustrafjord, and the oldest of the twenty-eight that survive. Carved panels from an earlier building of about 1070 were reused in its north wall — the interlaced beasts that gave their name to the Urnes style. World Heritage since 1979.
