What To Expect

Join this hike to Kjerag and enjoy the view from the Majesty of Lysefjord. Maybe you would dare to stand on the boulder.The drive from Stavanger to the Eagle’s Nest, trailhead for this hike, is close to 2.5 hours and not without its charm. Once there, the trail will take you through beautiful mountainous terrain with changing landscape and impressive views of the area. Having reached the Kjerag plateau, after 2 to 3 hours, you will spend time enjoying the view, nature and most likely taking photos. Some may be courageous enough to climb onto the bolt, and if you are lucky, you may be able to observe BASE jumpers diving from cliffs and down to Lysefjorden. This is also the time to enjoy the packed lunch, beverages, and some snacks before you head back. The expected arrival time back in Stavanger is around 6.00pm.
