'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Mount Prest (1,363 m) 📍 rises above the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of Norway’s vast Sognefjord, offering one of the most celebrated viewpoints in the country. From its slopes and summit, you can see deep blue fjord waters winding between sheer cliffs, with snow-capped peaks stretching to the horizon. The lower part of the mountain is home to the Stegastein viewpoint, a modern platform that juts dramatically out over the fjord, giving visitors the sensation of floating in the air.


'...Local lore says that Mount Prest, whose name means “The Priest”, was once a gathering place for secret meetings between villagers from opposite sides of the fjord. Legend has it that a priest climbed to the ridge to mediate a dispute over fishing rights, choosing the high ground so that “all could speak under the same sky.” Whether true or not, the story fits the mountain’s role as a unifying landmark, watched over by hikers and sightseers alike...'
