Hike to Kjeragbolten (990 m above sea level) in Lysefjorden
This hike takes you to the iconic Kjeragbolten, a boulder wedged between two rock faces 990 metres above Lysefjorden.
The hike starts at Øygardstøl, located along Lyseveien. Parking, a café and toilets are available here, making it easy to prepare for the hike.
The trail begins with a steep climb, with chains attached to the rock for extra support. After the first section, the terrain levels out before another steep climb takes you further upwards. Along the way, the landscape alternates between rocks, mountains and small marshy areas, providing a varied and exciting experience. After the final ascent, you reach the Kjerag plateau, where a short walk across rocky terrain leads to Kjeragbolten itself.
Remember to take care if you plan to step out onto Kjeragbolten. It is an incredible experience, but it also requires respect for the height and surroundings.
The return hike follows the same route.
