Embark on a journey through Norway’s picturesque landscapes, starting with a drive through the majestic mountains, past lush pastures, meadows, and fjords. Your destination is the trailhead for a hike to the awe-inspiring Månafossen Waterfall, the highest waterfall in southwestern Norway. As you ascend the steep path, you’ll encounter wooden stairs and stones that make the hike a bit easier, leading you to the breathtaking 300-foot drop of the waterfall into the canyon below.

After soaking in the beauty of Månafossen, continue your trek to the verdant valley of Fidjadal, where you can rest at a deserted mountain farm and refuel with a drink and snack. The journey back down to the trailhead offers a chance to take in the stunning surroundings before heading to Byrkjedalstunet, a charming spot that embodies the essence of Norway with its country hotel, traditional restaurant, and candle factory showcasing local artisans’ work.

A short drive away, Gloppedalsura awaits, showcasing one of Northern Europe’s largest screes, formed thousands of years ago and used as a natural defense barrier by Norwegian soldiers during World War II. Your final stop is at Swords in Rock, a Viking memorial site commemorating King Harald Fairhair’s victory in battle, uniting Norway as one kingdom.

Immerse yourself in the rich history and natural beauty of Stavanger and its surroundings on this unforgettable journey through Norway’s cultural landmarks and stunning landscapes.
