Knaben Fjellcamp<\/h2>\n

It is 4 km walk from Knaben to the lean-to shelter at Bergetj\u00f8rn lake. The trip runs through nice mountain terrain along a waymarked trail. The terrain is steep in many places so it is important to follow the trail. You can choose to visit Roma mines on your way back to Knaben along a waymarked path. You will then have completed a great round trip of 8 km. Hiking map at Ut.no<\/a><\/p>\n

The nature trail at H\u00e5hellervatnet lake<\/h2>\n

There is a 1.5 km long nature trail that starts from the picnic area and parking lot at H\u00e5hellervatnet lake along Brokke-Suleskardvegen road. The trail has been designed as a round trip, and visitors can experience great views of the areas around Rosskreppfjorden. The nature trail is waymarked and there is information along the route about the nature and cultural history found in the area. PDF map of the nature trail<\/a><\/p>\n

Hovdenuten mountain<\/h2>\n

It is possible to park your car just a short distance from the center of Hovden, where you can then start your trip from Hovden Fjellpark along the trail to Hovdenuten mountain (1119 meters above sea level). It is only 1.3 km to the summit, but you have to climb 305 meters in elevation. The trail is waymarked and the steep sections have been adapted using stone slabs and steps. The summit offers great views of the landscape and the many protected areas around Hovden. If you are lucky, you might get to see wild reindeer through your binoculars. The trail continues from the summit as a round trip back to the starting point. Hiking map at Ut.no<\/a><\/p>\n

Kjerag<\/h2>\n

The trip to Kjerag is long and challenging, especially if the weather isn\u2019t that good. You must therefore be equipped and prepared for a trip in the high mountains. It is a 3.5 km trip from the parking lot at \u00d8ydegardst\u00f8l to Kjerag through steep terrain and along the edge of the cliffs towards Lysefjorden. You will be climbing approximately 500 meters in elevation. The trail is waymarked and has been adapted using railings and stone steps in the steepest sections. Walking out onto the Kjeragbolten boulder is probably one of the most nerve-racking things you can do in the Norwegian mountains. Below you is a drop of 1000 meters all the way down to Lysefjorden, and you are standing on a boulder that has wedged itself between two mountainsides. However, you don\u2019t have to walk out onto the boulder in order to experience a fantastic trip to Kjerag. The view along the entire trail is overwhelming. Hiking map at Ut.no<\/a><\/p>\n

M\u00e5nafossen waterfall and M\u00e5n<\/h2>\n

It is just a 500 meter walk from the parking lot at Eikeskog up to M\u00e5nafossen waterfall. The trail is steep but it has been well adapted using steps and railings. With a fall of 92 meters, M\u00e5nafossen waterfall is Rogaland County\u2019s highest waterfall and a magnificent sight. If you would like to go on a slightly longer trip, the trail continues on for a further kilometer all the way to the old mountain farm at M\u00e5n. A well-maintained farmyard is located at the mouth of the beautiful Fidjadalen valley, and is surrounded by a cultural landscape that continues to be cared for. If you would like to spend the night at M\u00e5n, visit J\u00e6ren Outdoor Board\u2019s website for more information. It is also possible to take the Via Ferrata trail from Eikeskog up to M\u00e5nafossen waterfall. Hiking map at Ut.no<\/a><\/p>\n

R\u00f8ssdalen valley<\/h2>\n

There is a well-trodden path that runs from the parking lot into the valley and along R\u00f8ssdalsvatnet lake. After just 2 km, you reach an idyllic area consisting of beautiful deciduous forests that create a mosaic with open grasslands. This is a nice place to take a break, have a bite to eat or pitch your tent. The municipality has also built a toilet at this location. It is possible to continue further on to Indradalen where you will meet a beautiful and dramatic landscape consisting of magical scree slopes and the distinctive Fossajuvet.<\/p>\n

The Ritland Crater<\/h2>\n

It is a 3 km hike from the parking lot at Kleivaland up to a lean-to shelter that offers a fantastic view of the Ritland Crater and \u00d8yast\u00f8lsmyra. The hike up is on a gravel road and a trail. The route is only partly waymarked, but there are signposts so the destination is easy to find. The Ritland Crater is what remains of a meteorite impact that occurred here 500 million years ago. Much of the crater has been worn away by ice and water, but it is possible to see a wall of the crater.<\/p>\n

F\u00f8rre<\/h2>\n

F\u00f8rre is located at the innermost part of beautiful J\u00f8senfjorden. The easiest way to reach F\u00f8rre is therefore by boat or kayak, and the trip is not more than 6 km if you set off from Vadla. It is a 16 km trip if you start from T\u00f8ttlandsvik. On the south side of J\u00f8senfjorden, you will sail past the steep, forested hillsides in Nordraheia Nature Reserve and Vormedalsheia Protected Landscape. There was a permanent settlement at F\u00f8rre up until 195x, and it is a place where you can still experience a distinctive cultural landscape that is home to hundreds of old pollarded trees.<\/p>\n

Stranddalen valley<\/h2>\n

Stranddalen is known as \u2018the gem of Ryfylkeheiane\u2019. It is particularly famous for its beautiful and dramatic landscape and uncommonly rich alpine flora. Visitors will also find Stavanger Trekking Association\u2019s staffed cabin that serves the world\u2019s best potato dumplings. It is a 4.5 km hike from the parking lot next to the construction road at \u00d8vre Moen to Stranddalen valley. The trail is relatively good, but quite a lot of it is uphill so it is a bit of a demanding trip. Hiking map at Ut.no<\/a><\/p>\n

Nipe<\/h2>\n

The trip to Nipe mountain (707 meters above sea level) is steep and challenging, but visitors are rewarded with fantastic views towards Suldalsvatnet lake, Nesflaten, and also across to Dyraheio. The trail to Nipe mountain starts at a parking lot down by Br\u00e5tveitvegen road, and hikers must cover 3.5 km and 600 meters of elevation to reach the vantage point at the top. The waymarked trail is steep and slightly wet in some places. There are also many nice places to take a rest along the trail to the summit. Hiking map at Ut.no<\/a><\/p>\n
