From Bergen in the north
Skudeneshavn
The old part of Skudeneshavn is one of the best kept old towns in Europe. Historically it was a smooth harbor for sailing ships.
Narrow streets, idyllic harbor for small boats and almost 130 original timber homes and seafront wharves have been preserved in ”The Olde Town”
Utstein monastery and Fjøløy
Utstein kloster is Norway's best preserved medieval monastery. It is situated in gorgeous surroundings at Mosterøy, a 30 minutes trip from Stavanger crossing a undersea tunnel.
The king who gathered Norway into a single kingdom, Harald Hårfagre, resided here on his “kingsfarm”. Later, in the medieval period, Utstein kloster was a monastery for Augustine monks.

Brufjellhulene - the Brufjell caves
The potholes at the Brufjell caves are really a natural experience not to miss!
The descent to the potholes is very steep and people who are afraid of heights might find it a bit scary. Some safe handles have been put up to facilitate the short climbing, and is easy for grown ups. Children under 10 years old might get some problems.
You are not recommended to visit the potholes during rainy weather and winter time, because the path and bergs get very slippery
Helleren i Jøssingfjord
“Helleren” was an old croft. The two houses do not have proper roofing- simply because they are protected by Helleren - and this is also the reason why these two houses and this landscape provide a unique and special experience. The houses dates back to the 18th century. Archaeoligits have found traces indicating human activity under Helleren for more than 6000 years. Helleren was abandones in the 1920s.

Sogndalstrand - Hauge i Dalane
is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Rogaland, and the only village in Norway where both the wooden buildings from the 1700's and 1800's and the surrounding cultural landscape are listed.
Sogndalstrand is a former village of commerce. The citizens had the privilege to make trades, to import and export goods.
The town blossomed in the 1800. At that time there were 20 shops, four bakeries, two liquor stores and four bars. Sogndalstrand also had a customs station, a bank, a factory making yarn, and sail ships. The prison was often filled by drunken people after the Saturday party.
Today there is a cultural hotel, cozy shops and an art gallery.
