Lysefjorden, Rogaland

The boulder is stuck between two cliffs — and has been since the ice let go.

One rock. Two cliffs. And 1,000 meters of air.

Kjeragbolten isn't artificial. It was left behind by a glacier — and has sat there for 10,000 years.

Hvad du ville høre lige her
«The boulder you see — and might be about to stand on — is a glacial erratic. It was carried here by a glacier from an entirely different part of the region and got wedged in place as the ice melted. There's no cement. No bolts. Just gravity and two rock walls holding it there. Physically, it's secure. Psychologically, that's up to you.»

The ice's parting gift

Kjeragbolten is a glacial erratic — a rock transported and deposited by a glacier roughly 10,000 years ago. It's about one cubic meter in size and sits wedged between two rock walls, 1,084 meters above Lysefjorden.

Lysebotn below you was a strategically important point during the Second World War — the fjord was used by German forces to conceal vessels. The small community living here had almost no contact with the outside world.

EchoTrail is triggered along the Kjerag trail from Øygardstøl — with stories about the fjord's wartime history, its geology, and the people who lived on isolated farms along the fjord's sides.
