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.

Facebbook photo walk: Trolltunga/The Troll tongue, Tyssedal - Norway

The hike in the mountains to Trolltunga is an 8-10 hour walk both ways, about 22 kilometers, with a height difference of about 10000 meters. The start of the hike its hard! There is a steep trail that rises about 400 meters up the first 1.5 kilometers. After that it goes upwards but not as steep. You have a fantastic view along the trail over Ringedalsvatnet and the mountains around. You can also see the glacier of Folgefonna along the walk. When you get at trolltunga it is magnificent. Walking out on the cliff feels pretty safe and the photo you take will definitely end up at your Facebook page :)

Facebook photo walk: Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), Stavanger - Norway

A facebook photo walk:) 

Pretty boring walk up to Preikestolen (The pulpit rock)! Extremely touristy and the trail has also been improved with a wider track and stone stairs up the hill so it would be easier for the tourists to walk. We walked almost in a cue on our way up. The small passage out to the plateau gives you some butterflies in the stomach.  We brought some beers and had a great little pre-party up there watching lots of reckless people sitting on the edge of the plateau. Personally, too heavy for me but big cred to the people who dared to sit on the edge of the Pulpit Rock:).

Summary

Distance:	7,88 km
