Geisfossen waterfall, Villages Hornindal, Utvik and Olden.

Geisfossen (I’ve also seen it called Geisdalsfossen) was a series of four segmented waterfalls plunging side-by-side each other. It seemed like it was the most famous of the many waterfalls we saw in Jostedal Valley (Jostedalen; pronounced “YOO-steh-doll-un”) as it was probably the nearest waterfall that we encountered to the impressive and accessible Nigardsbreen Glacier.
Hornindalsvatnet is Norway´s and Europe´s deepest lake, officially measured to a depth of 514 metres (1,686 ft). The village of Grodås lies at the eastern end of the lake in Hornindal and the village of Mogrenda is located on the western end of the lake in Eid.
Utvik is a village in Stryn Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is located on the southern shore of the Nordfjorden.
Olden is a village and urban area in the municipality of Stryn in Vestland county, Norway. Olden is located at the mouth of the Oldeelva river at the northern end of the Oldedalen valley on the southern shore of the Nordfjorden. Olden is a major tourist area. The cruise port in Olden had 102 cruise ship arrivals in 2019.[3] The Briksdalsbreen glacier, a popular hiking destination, is located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Olden, at the end of the Oldedalen valley. It is a small arm off the main Jostedalsbreen glacier. There are two churches in Olden, the Old Olden Church (built in 1759) and Olden Church (built in 1934).

Olden Church, Olden, Norway Sept. 16, 2019

Olden Church (Norwegian: Olden kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Stryn Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Olden on the north end of the Oldedalen valley. It is the church for the Olden parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1934 by the architect Daniel J. Muri. The church was built in 1934 to replace the Old Olden Church as the main church for the parish since it was too small for the parish. The new church was built about 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) to the south of the old church.
