Private toll road is a scam. The road was blocked halfway by unpassable (by car) fallen trees and later on (after going past the trees on foot) by an unpassable (by car) rockfall that looked like it had been there a long time. They will still make you to pay for it and refuse refunds. Better park before the toll starts and walk down and back up for free. The glacier itself is better visible from a distance than from nearby.

You‘ll have to pay 100NOK or 200NOK (camper) to go there, but absolutely worth it if the weathet is good! Drive to the end of the gravel road to the parking spot. There is a gravel footpath 400m to a patform. But don‘t stopt there! Put on some good shoes and walk the natural stony trail even further to the glacier. It starts next to the empty red metal sign. The trail takes you 10-15min (one road) to the river. Best for fotos is before noon when the sun is not yet there. But also good with the sun just harder to make good fotos. The restaurant down the road on the lake only serves warm food starting at 1PM, no vegetarian options.

I enjoyed this short hike a lot. It's not strenuous at all, I saw some pregnant women walking it, at least to the end of unpaved road. Plus a lot of other people on bikes or by foot got just there. After that you continue walking on the rocks, till you get to the glacier. One disadvantage is that the paths on the rocks are not marked, neither clearly visible. You usually just walk wherever it's feasible for you. So better take some good hiking shoes. No tickets to enter the place needed. Also the parking lot at the beginning of the train was free of charge.
