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

Reviewed By palrake - Oslo, Norway
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.
6. Auglend & Vandringshavn
Recreational area located on Eigerøy and a fantastic area for coastal walks. Traces of fishing activities stretching back several hundred years. Possibilities for fishing, grilling and swimming. Car parking with WC facilities. Follow the road to Eigerøya on Fv 42, then follow the sign to the right and to the very end of the road. Buss nr.3.
7. Migaren Via Ferrata
Migaren is a 400 metres Via Ferrata that winds along the mountainside and through a waterfall in Jøssingfjord. The climb is easy, but will still give you a sense of a challenging climbing adventure.
