Gaupne

Built around the mouth of the Gaupneelvi river, Gaupne grew into the administrative centre of Luster municipality. The settlement stands beside Gaupnefjorden, a branch of Lustrafjorden, which extends inland from the Sognefjorden. Fjord waters, steep mountainsides and cultivated land shape the local setting, while roads from Gaupne lead into Jostedal, the valley associated with Jostedalsbreen National Park and the Nigardsbreen glacier. Gaupne Old Church, a timber church dating from 1652, preserves a tangible link to the area’s earlier rural community.
