Approx. 10.000 years ago, massive glaciers formed the Norwegian fjords and mountains, and in this process the Kjerag boulder was wedged into a mountain crevasse at 1.000 metres above sea level. When at the boulder you have the most amazing views over the 42 km long Lysefjorden.

Towering 1,100 meters above sea-level, Mount Kjerag is the highest peak along the Lysefjord. Due to its sheer, almost 1,000 meters high cliffs looming over the fjord, the mountainous area is often referred to as the Kjerag Massif.
