Vassenden

Vassenden sits at the northern end of Lake Jølstravatnet in Vestland, Norway, where the Jølstra River flows onward through the Sunnfjord district. Set between the lake and steep, wooded slopes, this small settlement is a practical base in Jølster, a valley region shaped by water, farming and routes linking inland communities with Førde. Jølstravatnet is known for trout fishing, while the Jølstra is part of the river system leading west towards Førdefjorden. Vassenden was the administrative centre of the former Jølster municipality until it became part of Sunnfjord municipality in 2020. Nearby Astruptunet preserves the home and working environment of painter Nikolai Astrup, whose art is closely associated with Jølster.
