6 Historic Walking Areas in Rogaland That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Would you climb 4444 steps up the longest wooden staircase in the world? Florli 4444 is a climb of 4444 steps (more than that in fact!) up the side of an old trolley railway beside the water pipes of an old hydro-electric power station. The hike up takes about 2 hours and is hard work. This is a hike for adults and older children with a decent level of fitness. You are not supposed to come down the steps so the hike down is by another route, taking about three hours. The descent is steep, uneven and slippery at the top. The most fantastic hike with beautiful views throughout. A hidden gem compared to the other more famous Stavanger region hikes.

If you have ever been in Skagen Denmark, then you will really understand why its called Skagenkaien. Tight historical links between Norway and Denmark, really is portrayed here. Romantic and historical old wooden buildings, as seen almost anywhere in Norway, just so charming. If you do have time left to spend, a cosy lunch, afternoon with coffee or a cold beer is well spent. You will have the harbour area as a scene, cruise ships, yachts and just a life in Stavanger to enjoy.
