Close to the Rosendal pier is the famous Folgefonna National Park with the country’s third largest glacier located in the centre of the national park. This park is Exotic and dramatic and has attracted tourists since 1833. Here are glacier tongues and icefalls, wild valleys, and raging rivers of rushing meltwater and scenic summer pastures. Please bear in mind if you would like to have a glacier excursion, then you will need to book a guide and it can take up to 40 minutes to get from Rosendal to the glacier.
