About Skjolden
Skjolden is a quiet village at the head of the Lustrafjord, an arm of the Sognefjord, with high mountains, glaciers and the Sognefjellet road.
Skjolden lies at the innermost end of the Lustrafjord, itself a branch of the Sognefjord, Norway's longest fjord, with steep mountainsides rising on every side. It is a small village of a few hundred people, with a pier, a church, and farms on the lake and fjord shores. The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein came here to think and write in the early twentieth century, and later had a hut built above the lake.
