Stunning views of the surrounding fjords and mountains

There are several hiking trails

Kjerag is a mountain is known for its steep cliffs, including the famous Kjeragbolten boulder, which is wedged in a crevasse in the mountain and has become a popular destination for hikers and tourists. Kjerag rises to a height of 1,084 meters above sea level and offers stunning views of the surrounding fjords and mountains. The mountain is a popular destination for hiking and climbing, and there are several trails that lead to the summit. The most popular trail is the Kjeragbolten hike, which takes approximately 5-6 hours round trip and requires a moderate level of fitness and hiking experience. The Kjeragbolten boulder is located at an elevation of 1,000 meters and is a 5-cubic-meter stone that is suspended in the air between two cliffs. It has become a popular spot for tourists to take photos, although it is not recommended for those with a fear of heights. To reach the Kjeragbolten, hikers must cross a steep and narrow trail, which can be challenging, but the reward is a unique and breathtaking view from the top.
