Facebook photo walk: Kjeåsen Mountain Farm, Eidfjord - Norway



Facebook photo walk up to the mountain farm Kjeåsen (530 masl), famous from "Der ingen skulle tru nokon kunne bu" also called the world’s most inaccessible farm. It is an amazing walk straight up the mountainside of Simadalsfjorden (inner Hardangerfjord). Logs bolted to the mountain, ropes and ladders helps you up to the farm. For me who is a little afraid of heights, this was a real challenge. Great adrenaline rush! At the top you have a fantastic view over the fjord and the landscape around the farm it’s beautiful. The farm has a great story dated back to the 1600 century that made the hike even more interesting. Going down the way we came up would have been too hard for a man with a small portion of acrophobia so we walked down to Simadalen through the 2,5km long tunnel (not really allowed) that is built in the mountain. Strongly recommend this hike if you want some adrenaline in your life and some old mountain farm history. Also, if you do a little reading about the farm before the hike the experience will be way more interesting.
