Kannesteinen Rock

A unique seaside rock formation crafted by the loving hands of Mother Nature.

A mushroom cloud, a granite gemstone, a swivel chair – well whatever you want to call it, it is undeniable that Kannesteinen Rock is the coolest rock formation around. Its top-heavy, inverted-cone structure is supported by a slim rock stem in a gravity-defying act of nature. For photographers looking for a unique subject, or for anyone just looking for interesting travel shots, Kannesteinen Rock is the prime place to go. Scramble to the top to take your Instagram-worthy silhouette jump shots or some nonchalant lounge photos atop your granite throne. Located in the rural village of Oppdal, the rock provides a tranquil sanctuary for you to gaze at the ferocious sea waves as you collect your thoughts. This is a natural monument like no other, and you will no doubt wish you could stay up there longer and observe the world from your perch.

Tips Before You Go
If you wish to take photos while posing atop the rock, then make sure that there’s someone to help you up. The rock can be rather slippery, especially since it’s right next to the sea, so be careful.
