View of the Bay in Flekkefjord Landscape Conservation Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

From above, the bay looks like it's in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the algae make bathing less enjoyable down below.

Brufjell Caves

Highlight • Cave

The Brufjell Holes were likely carved out of the rock by the surf before the coastline rose after the last Ice Age. A rare natural phenomenon!

June 18, 2024,🚌Nordwärts 5.1 Brufjellet🏔Höhlen Tour 18.06.2024

Wow, what a tour, it seems so inconspicuous, a bit up the mountain... and down to the sea 🌊, but not like that in Norway. There was a brief rain at the beginning and then the sun came out 🌞 and a strong wind 🌬
I would describe the route as alpine and then the descent to the cave, that …

You don't really know what to say. A hike like this is new to us. With mountains for free climbing, amazing views, normal paths and finally a via ferrata that was quite something. It's just a great feeling to have mastered it and to top it all off, to admire the whims of nature. These impressions are simply unbelievable...😍👍🏻😃❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

In fantastic weather we went up to the Brufjell today. 🌞⛰️

We still have to adapt a bit, so that the routes marked in Norway have a different level of difficulty than we are used to and therefore require significantly longer time for the routes than planned.

May 20, 2022,Brufjellhålene Norwegen – Sandvika Runde von Stornes

This hiking to the caves called; “Brufjellhalene” is the first highlight for us in Norway. Total 5.5 km 2 hours is not in everyone’s capability… Needs about 100 meter climbing… down and up! At the end, it is absolutely worth to do this hiking. In the evening we are in this little harbour where one has to be in fjord …

On the second day of our Norway trip, we set ourselves the goal of climbing the 180 m high Brufjell. ⛰️🏁

The starting point was a parking lot just outside. From there you first cross the picturesque villages of Østebo and Stornes before you get to the actual starting point of the hiking routes. The route is basically designed as …

Beautiful, challenging tour with secured climbing sections. A head for heights is a must. Gardening gloves are an advantage for the rope sections. Some parts are very busy, so progress can be slow.

Great tour with via ferrata piece. In total, however, you can calculate 4-5 hours, including photos and climbing. So plan your time.
You can park for free in 2 parking spaces, where there is also a hiking map and 2 drinking machines :-) Our chosen way there was already very sporty with high wet stones and scrambling. If you like …

I have put the photos of Helleren at the beginning of the tour. The settlement site, which dates back to the Stone Age, is located in the Jøssingfjord, is worth seeing and is only a few kilometers from the tour.
