Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
The view point Kongens Utsikt is 484 metres above the beautiful lakes of Tyrifjorden and Steinsfjorden, west of Kleivstua. Admire the fantastic vistas of large parts of Ringerike and Hole. King Karl Johan's visit in 1832 gave the view point its name: Kongens Utsikt means the King's view point. You can either start at Sundvolden and walk the 1,300 metres up to Kleivstua, or you can drive to Kleivstua. (Toll road, NOK 25) The path from Kleivstua to the view point is clearly signposted. The walk takes around 30 minutes each way. Have a good trip!

We climbed up the forest paths from the parking lot at Kleivstua, making the ascent to the Viewing Platform in about 15 minutes. It was a very hot day so we were glad of water bottles and a snack when we reached the top. On that July day when most were at the sea, we met people with lots of photography equipment, tourists, joggers and even a couple of families with small children. This is a trip for everyone - you can just adjust your pace. The views are simply amazing - the lakes beautiful and you can see as far as to Gaustatoppen - the highest mountain in southern Norway.
