Bondhusbreen
Glacier in Bondhusdalen Valley, Norway.
Great view of the
Bondhusbreen glacier. Bondhusbreen is an offshoot of the
Folgefonna glacier in Norway. Folgefonna glacier is the third
largest glacier in the mainland of Norway. From Sundal at the
Mauranger Fjord there is a quality gravel road, Isvegen to Lake
Bondhusvatnet. The road was built in 1863 to transport ice from
the Bondhusbreen Glacier down to the fjord for export. It has
later been maintained as an unusually beautiful tourist
attraction. The Bondhusbrea glacier is often mentioned as the
best site for glacier climbing in the country.
The Bondhusdalen
valley is central in Folgefonna National Park, and it is not a
coincidence that this was the location where the National Park
was opened May 14th, 2005 by Queen Sonja. You can see her
signature on a rock by Lake Bondhusvatnet. The area has been a
magnet for tourists and mountain goers since the middle of the
1800’s
