Breimsvatn (or Breimsvatnet) is a lake in the municipalities of Gloppen and Jølster in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. At 22.52 square kilometres (8.70 sq mi), it is the largest lake in Gloppen (followed by the lake Emhjellevatnet). The highway E39 runs along the north end of the lake, connecting the two nearby areas of Sandane and Byrkjelo. On the shores of the 17-kilometre (11 mi) long lake lie several villages including Breim and Kandal. The lake flows into the Gloppenelva river which flows into the Gloppenfjorden, an arm of the Nordfjord.[1][2]
