Orrabenken
Orrabenken sits at 1,214 ft along the Gaularfjellet byway, with terrain dropping 1,182 ft within 600 meters of the overlook. The view faces due north. To the northwest, Keipen rises to 4,616 ft at a distance of 3.9 mi, and Bjornabreen, a peak at 4,744 ft, lies 4.1 mi out in the same direction. Daylight hours vary considerably by season: on the June solstice, sunrise comes at 03:55 and sunset at 23:17, while the December solstice brings a much shorter span, with sunrise at 09:49 and sunset at 15:16. At the equinoxes, March sunrise is 06:37 with sunset at 18:48, and September sunrise is 07:18 with sunset at 19:37. The steep drop-off nearby means the overlook offers an unobstructed line of sight toward Keipen and Bjornabreen without intervening high ground. Klukkshaug is the next lookout along the route for drivers continuing on from Orrabenken.
