Hornelen, Sea cliff summit in Bremanger, Norway.
The Hornelen mountain rises 860 meters above the Frøysjøen strait, forming a vertical cliff face that drops directly into the Norwegian fjord waters below.
The mountain peak has functioned as a crucial navigational reference point for maritime traffic since ancient times, when sailors referred to it as Smalsarhorn.
Local folklore designates the mountain summit as a traditional gathering location for witches during midsummer and Christmas celebrations in Norwegian mythology.
Two primary hiking routes lead to the summit from Hunskår and Berleneset, with the Hunskår path starting near a white church and including parking facilities.
The mountain contains significant geological formations of Devonian sandstone that contribute to scientific understanding of Norwegian rock structures.
