Found it! It's on the southern exit from the Mjelva village. Viewpoint is not marked. It felt like a quite a private place, so I don't really want to post more details.

Someone dedicated can still easily find it.

You're right. Last holidays, I went to beautiful place in Spain. A way covered in Ferns was marked as an OSM path. I guess it was, but did not get cut this year or the later. So we tried and failed 30 m after.

It's important to keep some mysteries despite precise maps.

That's why I'm at the same time fascinated by 3D "splats", but also worried to be spoiled.

They're great for places we already know (inspect your roof's shape for instance), but they spoil discovery.

Last week I discovered apple's own photogrammetry library. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/creatin...

I used it to reconstruct a 3D mesh of a bouldering wall. It worked perfectly. No gaussian splatting involved. I think the boundary between virtual and real world does get thinner by the day

Not that thin. You can’t climb the virtual wall.
Too late. Plans to build a 7-11 there are already underway now, thanks to this post.
