No hiking route in Norway with a campfire and tents, hunting and fishing, is complete without a trip to the Kjerag mountain. Moreover, Kjeragbolten, the so-called «Norwegian Pea», has repeatedly appeared on the covers of popular international travel publications. There is no need to mention how many photos and selfies were taken in this fantastic place. And they all definitely collected thousands of likes on all social networks.

However, not everyone dares to climb even the Kjerag mountain. It is located at the top of the Lysefjord which is more than 1000 meters high. Quite steep ascents are interrupted by extreme sections that can only be climbed with the help of an iron chain stretched over the rock. However, the reward that awaits the climbers at the top will cover all their efforts with interest.

The fabulous view of the fjord is literally breathtaking. Seascapes can not be compared with any of the paintings of famous marine artists. More than five kilometers of the winding path – and the brave travelers see a wonderful view of the flower valley with crystal clear streams and gray, bizarre rocks. However, the most unexpected and pleasant surprises on the way are the mysterious cairns (artificial structures made of stones) as well as snowcaps. The latter look as if they were scattered by mythical trolls.

The hallmark of these places is the world-famous giant stone Kjeragbolten. It is stuck between two vertical rocks over a chasm almost a kilometer deep. Only those daredevils who take a step across the chasm discover another miracle of Kjerag – the amazing Kjeragfossen waterfall. It is only a hundred meters lower than the highest waterfall in the world, Angel. Whether tourists decide to set foot on Kjeragbolten or not is not so important. Even the views from the top of Kjerag are enough to impress even experienced travelers with their beauty and grandeur. The memories of these views remain in everyone's heart forever.

The soul singer Marvin Gaye sang that there “ain’t no mountain high enough” – but then again, he never came to Norway. With almost 300 mountain peaks above 2,000 metres he would probably have found himself a suitable challenge. For centuries, Norwegians have used the mountains as...
