Why Kjeragbolten matters
Kjeragbolten is a rock wedged in a crevice high above the fjord. Photographers love the shot of someone standing on it with a deep drop below. The hike is strenuous, with chains to help on steep parts, and the weather can change fast. Only attempt it in the summer hiking season and with proper gear.
Talking points
- The boulder is stuck between two cliff faces.
- The route has steep sections with chains.
- It is a summer-only hike.
