📍 Location: Near Preikestolen, Rogaland, Norway
📅 Best time to go: April – October
⛰️ Distance & Elevation: approx. 2 km out & back | 60m elevation gain
🔗 Route link: AllTrails – Heiatjørna Utsiktspunkt

Just a short drive from the famous Preikestolen hike, this hidden gem offers a peaceful and much less crowded trail. You can park your car in a lay-by along Route 523, and then follow the AllTrails route to the Heiatjørna viewpoint overlooking the Lysefjord.

The trail is easy to walk, but hard to navigate without a map, so make sure to follow the route on AllTrails closely. After just about 1 km, you’ll reach the viewpoint — a quiet spot with stunning views, perfect for a short and rewarding break from the crowds.
