Kjerag

The Lysefjord from Kjerag

Kjerag or Kiragg is a Norwegian mountain, located in Lysefjorden, in Forsand municipality, Rogaland. It is 1110 m over sea level, with a wall falling 1000 m right down into the sea. There is also a small, 715 m tall waterfall.

Kjerag has become a quite popular hiking destination in the last few years. Some go there because Preikestolen has become too crowded, some people go to jump onto Kjeragbolten (1000 metres sheer drop into the lysefjorden) and quite a lot of BASE jumpers from all over the world go there to dive off the high cliffs. Kjerag is also a popular climbing destination, with many difficult routes going up its steep faces. The hike form the parkinglot to the top is quite rough and takes approximately 2 hours each way.
