Kjeragbolten - a popular place for travelers and base jumpers

Just see this five-cubic-meter large block suspending above 984 meter deep hole between two mountain cliffs in Norway. You will be frightened to see this popular hiking area. This is a perfect place for photography.  Mostly hikers need equipment to scale mountain, but you can easily reach there on foot.

Kjeragbolten is not only used for photography, but also popular for base jumpers. It is thrilling to be there for ordinary people who live in plain area. When base jumpers want to be in air, they reach on Kjeragbolten and jump from there.

Non-experience hikers can face difficulties to climb on Kjeragbolten. They need hiking shoes and boots including water and sunscreen as the place has no trees where hikers can get sheltered. Small children shouldn’t try to climb Kjerag Mountain because it is not suitable for them. I have never climbed any mountain till now. I think I couldn’t as I fear of altitude.
