The National Park Village is located at the foot of the mighty mountain Lomseggen, and provides a crossing point between east and west. In less than two hours (summer time) you can move from the mountains in Jotunheimen to the worlds longest fjord, Sognefjorden.
In the city center, the river Bøvra runs white and wild in Prestfossen. The name Fossbergje comes from the rock that protrudes at the waterfall. The village center has been developed at both sides of the river since the end of the 1600th century.
