Skei

Skei has served as a local service centre in Jølster, Vestland, since the era of modern road travel. The settlement stands by the eastern end of Jølstravatnet, a long lake whose outflow, the Jølstra, continues towards Førde. Here the E39 meets Route 5, placing Skei on an important overland link between the Nordfjord area and inner Sogn. Jølster is closely associated with the painter Nikolai Astrup; his former home, Astruptunet, is preserved on the lake’s southern shore.
