Yes it's real. I haven't been to that one myself, but I have a photo of my Mom and aunt out there.

It's in the same fjord near Stavanger, that preikestolen is located. See viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3810
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

I've seen photos from that spot used in multiple ads for outdoor gear and other things.
