WEST CAPE- WHERE THE ELEMENTS RULE!
West Cape lies
on the mountain plateau of Kjerringa, towering 497 metres
above the resplendent, feared Stadhavet sea. Here we encounter
the elements in all possible combinations, from calm seas
in brilliant sunshine, to thick sea mists and fierce squalls,
with the occasional full-blown hurricane.
At first sight, the plateau may seem quiet and deserted.
But all of a sudden a hare leaps up in front of you, a stoat
inspects you curiously, wondering who you might be, an eagle
soars into the skies, and yes, you may even glimpse a passing
fox.
If you appreciate the beauty of such a landscape, West Cape
is the place for you. Its incredible 360-degree panorama
allows you in a single instant to enjoy a vista of the open
sea, snow-clad mountain tops, islands and fjords.
West Cape is the most westerly plateau in Norway and all
North Europe, situated on a latitude of 62° 11' 18"
north and a longitude of 5° 7' 33" east, on the
Stadland peninsula in the municipality of Selje in the county
of Sogn og Fjordane.
On West Cape you will also find Vestkapphuset with its café
and souvenir shop.
