Jølstravatnet or
Jølstravatn is a
lake in the municipality of
Jølster in
Sogn og Fjordane county,
Norway. The lake empties its water into the long
Jølstra river which then flows into the
Førdefjorden. The impressive eastern arm of Jølstravatn is called
Kjøsnesfjorden, although it is not a true
fjord that is part of the sea. The villages of
Skei,
Helgheim,
Ålhus, and
Vassenden are located on the shores of the lake.
