Visiting time is March 3. The Geiranger fjord did not show its full beauty from the lookout, due to the rainy and foggy weather, but it is still recommended to come up here because it is beautiful. A few minutes' drive from the ferry, it is worth stopping at the lower stop because you can approach the Queen's chair lookout point and the Geiranger lookout rock from here. The first is located on the side of the parking lot entrance after a short walk. The lookout rock is on the other side of the parking lot, and can be reached by crossing the approx. 20 cm high 'rail' behind the stalls on a sloping path. It's only a 1-2 minute walk, but be careful when walking in rainy and slippery weather, because the ravine is deep. That's why we didn't stand on the rock. Traces of retreating ice can be seen very clearly on the rocks. Since it was off season, combined with bad weather, there was no one else here.

We had snowfall at the end of September and therefore unfortunately hardly any visibility.
