The southernmost of the Western Fjord counties, Rogaland is also home to many beautiful beaches and islands. Of the area’s fjords, Lysefjord is the most famous, its 25 magnificent miles marked by narrow passages along steep vertical drops. Preikestolen, Rogaland’s most visited attraction, is a breathtaking cliff nearly 2,000 feet above the water. Kjeragbolten, a huge boulder wedged in a mountain crevasse, is another Lysefjord highlight. Cruises begin at Stavenger, the area’s biggest town.

Why not take a walk following the nice hiking-trip to the top of the mountain Storafjellet, where there is built a nice cottage to enjoy the lovely view over Bjerkreim, Dalane and all the way to the sea. The cottage is open for everyone to use. It is not facilitated for accommodation, but it is possible to sleep in hammocks outside the cottage. The top is at 485 meters above sea level.
Fast hike that took about 30-40min to get up. The view was perfect, nice cabin on the top of mountain , weather was good:)

Veraland is signposted from Holeveien up to the car park. The landscape is very open wich calls for warm clothes on windy days. There are small lakes for fishing and good opportunities for berry picking. Take Route 13, turn off on Route 316 towards Lauvvik. Round trips marked with signs Easy access from the parking lot at Veraland on Route 316.

The best place to see blooming trees spring time! This place is magic. You can walk it all the way through towards Melshei and get up to 2 hills there. You will pass an old farm ruins from iron age on the way. Walk up the Nonsberget hill there
Enjoy high-mountain ambience down by the coast The moorland and mountain area north and east of Holta, near Strand in Ryfylke, is a well-preserved coastal landscape. There are several walks available from the car-park: trails to Lauvasen, Svoa, Jarven and further towards Hjelmeland. All the hikes offer varied scenery, and for such a low-lying region the area feels surprisingly like the high plateaux of Norway. For most people, however, the summits of Moldhesten and Ormakammen and the plane crash monument are natural objectives for a day’s walk. We particularly recommend the walk to Moldhesten and Ormakammen (556 m) via Krogavatnet lake and Vassbotn. A waymarked trail takes you through open moorland in which you can find various kinds of heather, bear berries, alpine bear berries, blueberries and northern bilberry side by side. The two tops command a panoramic view of the Ryfylke basin and the high summits of inland Ryfylke. The trip up to the summit where the plane crash monument stands is not waymarked, but the path is good and clear. Access Drive Rv13 (the Ryfylke Road) along Bjorheimsvatnet lake to the sign for Holta. Up the hill until you see a new signpost for Holtaheia, then continue on a gravel road to the barrier. The route Waymarked trail to Moldhesten/Ormakammen ca. 2–3 hours. Unmarked trail to the monument. Good path. 1 hour round trip.
