Folgefonna National Park, National park with three glaciers in Vestland, Norway
The Folgefonna National Park spans 545 square kilometers across Kvinnherad, Etne, and Ullensvang municipalities, featuring three distinct glacial formations.
Queen Sonja inaugurated the national park on May 14, 2005, marking the preservation of Norway's southernmost major glacier system.
Archaeological findings, including flint arrowheads near the glacier, indicate human hunting activities in this region dating back 10,000 years.
The park receives 5,500 millimeters of annual precipitation, making it essential for visitors to prepare appropriate waterproof equipment and clothing.
The white-backed woodpecker, uncommonly found in Western Europe, inhabits the avalanche-affected zones within the park boundaries.
