The site served as a long-standing observation post where local fishermen tracked weather and maritime activity along the coast. This role reflects generations of connection between the community and the sea.
The viewpoint forms part of Norway's initiative to combine natural landscapes with architectural elements, reflecting modern Nordic design principles.
The viewpoint is accessible year-round by car via the E10 highway with parking available for visitors. Walking access to the viewing platform is straightforward and requires no special preparation.
