Hellersheia – The view is worth the effort

Fra toppen av Hellersheia kan du sette pris på det majestetiske landskapet, og den vakre utsikten over Jøssingfjorden og havet utenfor. Hellersheia-platået består av massiv anortositt med tydelige spor etter istiden.

Turen opp til Hellersheia-platået inneholder noen krevende deler, men utsikten er absolutt verdt innsatsen.

This area is part of the Åna-Sira anorthosite, one of several large anorthosite areas in Rogaland. The landscape on the plateau is dominated by the majestic mountains, clear lakes and large boulders scattered about. These boulders were transported by glaciers that spread over the area and were left behind when the ice melted. You can also find circular potholes on the plateau. These were formed from pebbles that swirled around in running water at the end of the ice age about 10,000 years ago. You may notice that some of the surfaces have near-horizontal scratches, known as scuff marks. These were made from blocks of stone that were carried in the ice as it moved.
