Just a short 10 minute drive from Odda, this hike has some of the best views I’ve ever seen! Unlike Trolltunga, you are actually looking out at a fjord as opposed to a glacial lake.

The fjord, some waterfalls, just beautiful. Then I really thought it was worth it. The descend made my legs shake.. Proper shoes are needed and would imagine that it’s very slippery on a rainy day..
We parked at the bottom and walked the extra 1km at the side of the rode. We asked the staff at the parking for the ticket and got it for free since only went...
