Among the best hiking spot so far for me in Norway. The hiking trails were very well maintained and suitable for all level of hikers. With a bit of fitness preparation, it should be doable activity. Don’t forget to bring water and snacks or fruits. You should be fine there ✌🏻⛰️🍁

Great views, hike is, on my opinion, harder than moderate. There were sections that were very steep. And to make matters worse, the wet conditions did not help with grip. Overall, I definitely would hike this place again.

Amazing! It is 8.4km (going and coming back) with 500m elevation. This should be one of the unique view in the world, totally worth. Path is not dangerous or risky. It takes 3 hours more or less - not including the time spent on final destination. Top tip: To avoid the crowd, you can start hiking late afternoon (consider the return time according to the sunset - you wouldn’t want to hike in darkness) We were there on the rock at 5.30 end of the august and there was no single person.

An absolutely breathtaking view that photos can't capture. The hike is a solid workout but the reward at the top is worth every step. A must-do in Stavanger, Norway.

Managed to find the only sunny in between 5-6 rain days. The view, the view!!! Started at 7:30. 1h hike to the top with a nice and steady pace. Beautiful nature along the way. Very nice stony path to protect nature. Some high steps along the way. Early start meant not many people on the way up. Some people coming down after having spent the night at the top. Going down got very busy. Very busy. Funny how so many line up to take pic at “that one spot” which seemed like 3-4-5 other spots there. People telling off people for being in their photo. A bit OTT. Great day out and will do it again!

Amazing views. Please be aware that if you don’t practice exercise frequently, it will be very hard. You have to climb for 4kms. Don’t recommend if you are not physically fit. It’s a difficult climb.

Tough hike with amazing views of the fjord. The view from the top is unlike anything you’ve ever seen and is a must do if you are in the area. There are steps guiding the well maintained path up the 1500 feet of elevation.

Awesome hike to the rock but can get busy at times. Only attempt this on good footwear (absolutely no sandals) Time 4 hours top and back plus time for rest stops. Top tip: Make absolutely sure to bring mosquito repellent in summer as they love the fresh water pools you pass on the way up!
