Kjeåsen Mountain Farm
Kjeåsen
A lonely farm perched on a cliff about 600 m above sea level, overlooking Simafjord; the road climbs through a single-lane tunnel, and the view is breathtaking.
The cliff where the farm stands could once only be reached by a climbing path. The road opened in 1974 alongside hydropower construction. The final section is a narrow single-lane tunnel, where traffic alternates in one direction on the hour and the half-hour (follow on-site signs). A small parking lot at the top overlooks Simafjord and Eidfjord, with striking views. The farm is still inhabited, so please do not enter private courtyards. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Eidfjord. The road is steep and dangerous, and large motorhomes are not advisable.
Opening hours
Approx. Jun–Sep; tunnel alternates one-way traffic
