Molden is often called the finest viewpoint in Sogn, with an amazing fjord view.
You start from the Mollandsmarki road just where it levels out after rising steeply from the R55 junction.

At the south side of Lustrafjorden you will find the magnificent Feigefossen Waterfall. Beautiful, 218 meters tall and one of Norways highest unregulated waterfalls.
If you´d like to get close, hike up the trail alongside the river. There are several viewpoint along the way. Wear good shoes and bring something to drink, the trail can be a bit slippery and the hike uphill is not too long, but it is steep.
From Feigefossen it is only a short drive to UNESCO Urnes Stave church and the nice cafè at Gamlefjøsen Cafè.

The starting point is the car park in Engjadalen. The first stretch follows a track on the west side of the river along the valley. After a short walk you come to a marked path which leads to the Tourist Association (DNT) cabin at Navarsete. The path continues along the west side of the river until it crosses the river just before Heggdalen, an nice summer farm up the green and fertile Engjadalen valley.
From Heggdalen the climb is fairly steep up to Heggdalsvatnet lake where the path occasionally goes right to the edge of the river cutting.
