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. 

In the nice and cosy center of Lom, called "Fossbergom", it is a busy life in the summer months with inhabitants and tourists side by side. Here you will find everything from a famous baker and stave church from 1150, one of the biggest Stave Churches in Norway, several outdoor cafés, restaurants, shops museums.

At the wooden bridge, built in the same way as the first bridges ever, you get close to the life giving water, on the way from the glaciers to the ocean. Please also notice Vassvaglen, the special monument, close to the roundabout.
