Wilderness Hiking & Camping 1000m above the Fjords, 4 days Backpacking Kjerag, Kjerag Boulder

Backpacking Camping Trip, Lysefjorden, Norway 4k, Hiking Kjerag/Kjerag Waterfall, Kjeragbolten, hiking above the fjord, crossing the mountains, recorded on iPhone and Gopro Hero 9 in 4k and 5k

This is a 4 day backpacking trip in May/June 2021, going from the Kjerag Parking and looping around the Kjerag Plateau. I find the most magnificent camp of my life, with the best views of the Kjerag Waterfall Firefall and Lysefjorden, similar to the Yosemite Firefall. I spend two days exploring the plateau and camp on top of the Kjerag Waterfall night two. On day three I head into the mountain and the snow and find an amazing campsite. Day 4 has me looping back through a gorgeous valley and returning to the main trail that I started on day one. I had sunshine the entire time and very little wind. Make sure to have a chat with the very friendly guy who runs Kjerag Tourist Info at the parking lot if you ever visit.
