Scenic overlook
This overlook sits along the Hardanger byway at an elevation of 49 feet, with land dropping 49 feet within 600 meters of the viewpoint. Torsnuten, a peak reaching 5,129 feet, is visible to the west-southwest at a distance of 3.9 miles. Day length varies considerably across the year at this location: on the June solstice, sunrise comes at 04:06 and sunset at 23:05, giving nearly 19 hours of daylight, while the December solstice sees a much shorter window, with sunrise at 09:39 and sunset at 15:25. At the equinoxes, sunrise and sunset fall closer to 06:37/18:47 in March and 07:18/19:37 in September. The modest elevation drop nearby suggests an open outlook rather than a sheer cliff edge. Travelers continuing along the byway will next reach the Setehaug lookout.
