Kjerag
Kjerag - The Majesty of the Lysefjord, Forsand in Ryfylke.
At 1084 metres, Kjerag towers above the other peaks along the Lysefjord. It has been traditional to admire this mountain face from the fjord, but in recent years, it has become increasingly popular to walk up the path to the plateau. Most people are happy just to enjoy the view of the Lysefjord from the plateau itself, but for some hikers, the climax of the excursion is to be photographed on the Kjeragbolten, a round rock wedged solidly in a mountain crevice. Kjerag has also become a popular attraction for mountain climbers and base jumpers.
Drive from hjelmeland to Songesand, from here you take the ferry to Lysebotn. Drive to Øygardstøl for parking (there is a parking fee).
