Moonscape

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the plateau you walk over the massive granite. Very beautiful landscape, but you are also completely exposed to the wind.

Highlight • Natural Monument

Next to Preikestolen and Trolltunga, this is probably the most visited rock formation. However, the ascent and descent require more stamina and better gear than the route to Preikestolen. Anyone …

Spectacular hike, now very popular so don't go it alone (but less crowded than Preikestolen).
The starting point is a parking lot (you have to shell out NOK 350 here with a credit card!), where the restaurant Øygardstøl (Eagle's Nest) with a terrace is located directly above the Lysefjord.
Then it goes steeply up to smooth rocky outcrops (hiking shoes!), …

We were there damn fast 🥾 and stayed under 2 hours. Unfortunately my wife lost her ankle on the way back after 6 km. Hence the slow cut. There were only two options! Rescue helicopter 🚁 or somehow down there. 💪

What do you think she decided 😰😀

A worthy 100th tour.
With the best weather we did our last hike of this Norway vacation today.
A beautiful route with wonderful views, but also some demanding sections.

What a strenuous hike. As a lowland Tyrolean, you're really not used to that.
The crowds on a Saturday are really crass, you could think there is something for free.
However, the views you had were spectacular and the base jumpers were crazy🙈😅
Insta has made the thing a real hotspot. I'm a little surprised that nothing has happened here …

1000 m above sea level and you look down to sea level. Absolutely amazing!!!
I was there very early and a storm was brewing, so I was almost alone. Unfortunately, I had to stop much too early because of this storm. I could have enjoyed the view for hours.
