Lustrafjorden, 40 km fjord branch in Luster Municipality, Norway

The Lustrafjorden extends from the Sognefjord system, featuring steep mountains, clear waters, and multiple small settlements along its shoreline.

The fjord's name evolved from Old Norse roots indicating water clarity, changing from Lyster to Luster through a 1917 royal resolution.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices and maritime activities, connecting present-day residents with generations of fjord inhabitants.

Visitors can access numerous hiking trails, swimming spots, and viewpoints through a network of roads connecting villages around the fjord.

The waters of Lustrafjorden reflect distinct clarity due to the influence of nearby glacial melts from Jostedalsbreen.
