Kokarsteinen – A Scenic Fjord Viewpoint

As we approach Kokarsteinen, we pass one of the most beautiful viewpoints along the fjord between Dyrkorn and Stordal. The area lies along the old road that was used before the Dyrkorn Tunnel opened in 2003. Today, this stretch has become a popular walking route, offering an easy stroll on asphalt with stunning fjord views all the way. On the opposite side, you can spot the mountain farms at Skotet, clinging to the steep hillsides. Kokarsteinen itself was originally a large rock formation that extended out towards the road. Over time, parts of it had to be blasted away as it posed a danger to traffic. The site was also used as a shelter and cooking spot for workers who built the road between Vaksvik and Dyrkorn. Today, a stone monument stands here to mark the location. During the summer, you’ll also find a small snack kiosk here – a popular stop for both locals and visitors.
