Understand
Sogn og Fjordane is characterized by its many fjords, of which the Sognefjord, with a length of 204 km 127 mi, is the longest fjord in Europe. In tourist brochures you can often read that the Sognefjord is the longest in the world. But this is not correct. Nærøyfjord an arm of Sognefjord is together with Geirangerfjorden listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. North of Sognefjord there are two shorter fjords, Dalsfjord and Førdefjord. North of those you will find Nordfjord, which is 106 km 66 mi long. The geography of the county is very varied, featuring many high mountain peaks, islands, and glaciers, including the Jostedalsbreen glacier, the largest glacier in continental Europe.
