Kjeragbolten, Mountain boulder in Forsand Sandnes Municipality, Norway.
Kjeragbolten is a massive boulder wedged between two cliff faces at roughly 1110 meters elevation. From this spot, views extend across Lysefjord and the surrounding mountain ranges.
The boulder was positioned between the cliffs during the last Ice Age by massive glacial movements. These ancient ice processes shaped the entire mountain landscape and left this distinctive stone where it rests today.
The boulder holds a special place in local mountain culture as a symbol of courage and adventure. Visitors from around the world come to test themselves by standing on its edge and capturing their moment there.
The route involves steep climbs and rocky terrain that demands good fitness and sure footing. Proper hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing help make the journey more manageable.
The location has become a hotspot for base jumpers who leap from the adjacent cliffs below. This extreme sport activity adds a daring element to what is otherwise a hiking destination.
