Climbing Section on the Flekkefjord Cliffs

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

As already mentioned... One should have courage, because it is not without risk... I would avoid the typical hiking times. We left the last parking lot at 3 p.m. and were there at 8 p.m. including two breaks of 2 minutes each, a few photos here and there, a lot of looking and briefly on the stone and on the stone again, back again. Would describe us as sporty :)

Brufjell Caves

Highlight • Cave

The Brufjell Holes were likely carved out of the rock by the surf before the coastline rose after the last Ice Age. A rare natural phenomenon!

From the Brufjell summit, you can descend to Brufjellhålene. The path is very steep and exposed. Steel steps and steel cables have been installed for climbing the steepest sections (a short via ferrata without safety equipment). Nevertheless, this section is dangerous, especially in wet conditions and with improper footwear! Dogs cannot negotiate this route.

Don't be too tempted by the cave photos; some visitors are disappointed because the caves are smaller than they appear in the photos. The real attraction are the eroded rock formations directly above the surf.

The path is not marked on the hiking maps, but it is clearly visible and nice to walk. Mostly a good hiking trail.
