The story

Sandfloegga is a mountain in Ullensvang Municipality in southeastern Vestland county, Norway.

The 1,722-metre (5,650 ft) tall mountain lies inside Hardangervidda National Park, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of the European route E134 highway. From the summit, the Folgefonna glacier is seen in the northwest, the mountain Hårteigen in the north, the Hallingskarvet mountain ridge and the glacier Hardangerjøkulen in the northeast, and the mountain Gaustatoppen in the east.
