Kannesteinen, Natural stone formation in Oppedal, Norway
The three-meter-high Kannesteinen presents a mushroom shape created by erosion from Atlantic Ocean waves and ice over thousands of years.
The stone received its name from local inhabitants who compared its form to a one-legged chair, calling it 'kannestolen' in Norwegian language.
The geological formation holds protected status under Norwegian law and represents the natural heritage of the Nordfjord coastal region.
The rock stands near a parking area with constructed wooden walkways leading to observation points that provide clear views from different angles.
The stone displays different shapes depending on viewing position, transforming from a goblet silhouette when seen from land to a streamlined form from sea.
