Cycling along the Nordsjøveien from Egersund to Hellvik is a wonderful trip, which spans 12 kilometers on a well-prepared hiking/gravel road. There are many great checkpoints and picnic areas along the way. If it's too long to ride back and forth, a great alternative is to turn around by Maurholen (an old train station with waffle sales in the summer and a beautiful outdoor area) or take the train

The scenery is very beautiful, and the walk is not that long, I guess 40 minutes one way? Parking is easy. The story of the formation being cut off is funny. I wish I had such big formation as a part of my own body, but since Trollpikken is made out of solid rock, no blue pill known to man will ever provide the proper elevation to such a heavy object.
