As I journeyed along this iconic route, the Flydalsjuvet lookout teased with its grandeur, but the true treasure lay off the beaten path. Amidst the majestic Geirangerfjord landscapes, this hidden rock provided the perfect frame for a unique perspective. Yet, it's not advertised; you won't spot a sign guiding you there.

Venture slightly off the track for a captivating view that transcends imagination. Safety remains paramount, as the unfenced rock edges demand caution. Don't approach the precipice for a stunning shot—optical illusions can deceive.

Finding Geiranger's Hidden Viewpoint

Split into upper and lower viewpoints, Flydalsjuvet's allure unveils in layers. The upper viewpoint yields an astounding panorama, while the lower viewpoint holds the key to the secret rock. The Queen's Chair, a wooden marvel offering fjord splendor, warrants admiration. However, the hidden gem lies elsewhere.

From the lower parking area, navigate to the lavatories, turn left and cross the miniature wire fence—an unconventional step for an extraordinary sight. Wander through a forested path leading downhill, a serene journey made easier when the terrain is dry. Soon, an expanse of rock emerges, where the famed Geiranger Rock stands poised for discovery. Along a defined track bordered by a wall and a precipice, it beckons photographers with an irresistible allure.

How to Reach Flydalsjuvet

A mere 15-minute drive from Geirangerfjord, Flydalsjuvet rewards those who venture to its panoramic embrace. Park freely, whether in a car or camper, and tour buses also make a stop, offering ease of access.

As the curtain falls on the Geiranger-Trollstigen journey, Flydalsjuvet's hidden treasure stands as a testament to nature's artistic prowess. This secret view adds an exhilarating twist to an already breathtaking expedition, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for Norway's majestic beauty.
