Fjellvegen - the scenic road to Adneram
evaanna Says: We approached Lysebotn, and first Adneram from the east passing Brokke along the seasonal road, part of which is called the Fjellvegen or the Mountain Road. Closed between November and June, it is indeed a mountain road. Extremely narrow - a single track road for the two-way...
Preikestolen - the Pulpit Rock
evaanna Says: This famous rock, 25 by 25 m in size and hanging 600 m above the Lysefjord is a well-known destination of hikers. Probably the best way to visit it is to stay at the Preikestolhytta nearby (see my accommodation tips) and start your hike from there. You may also treat it as a...
evaanna Says: Driving down or up Lysebotnvegen you come across Oygardsstol, which is also called the Eagle's Nest. Situated on the steep rocky edge of the Lysefjord, it offers a great view of the fjord and the mountains. There is a cafe and a car park there, both very expensive, but from...
evaanna Says: I had just gone down to the bar to get a drink on our boat trip on the Lysefjord when I heard music - Grieg's ' In the Grotto of the King of the Mountains'. My previous experience from other boat trips told me something unusual was going to happen so I ran up on deck as...
evaanna Says: This is an experience not to be missed if you are in the area of Stavanger. We went one way - from Lysebotn to Forsand only but it is said to be the most scenic part of the trip. Very expensive, at 505 NOK for two people and a car, it is worth every penny of it. The views...

The only restaurant around: Oygardstol
adema29 Says: I have only tried a cofee.. a I have to recognise that only the location and the building itself is special.. nothing to comment about the food. I would expect a very good polse :))
adema29 Says: I found more interesting the road to Lysebotn than the place itself. Be prepared for a long trip and a "scary" one. You'll have to stop in some places and let the others go, as the road is not wide enough for two cars. And of course, you'll stop it. It seems that the...
evaanna Says: The best and safest way to get to Lysebotn is by boat. You can take a speedy passenger boat from Stavanger all the year round apparently, but not every day it seems as it did not come there that Saturday. We wouldn't have taken it anyway, having the car with us and wanting...
Lysebotnvegen or the Lysebotn road
evaanna Says: One of the two ways of reaching Lysebotn is driving to the valley of Sirdal and taking the exit at Adneram. However, it is important to know in advance what you are letting yourself in for if that is your plan. The distance is 34 km, down down down a serpentine road on the...
evaanna Says: In the summer you can take an organised tour Stavanger - Lysebotn - Stavanger. The ferry takes you for the scenic trip along the Lysefjord and then a coach awaits you at Lysebotn to take you back to Stavanger. You must remember, however, that the drive up the Lysebotn road -...
OFF SEASON: Haugesund - Stavanger - Lysebotn
airkarat Says: We traveled by Ryanair to Haugesund (actually Helganes) airport in September 2005. When I was planning this 'off-season' trip, I found it difficult to find information for costs, schedules, and options after the tourist season ended August 31. I have placed the following...
Rachel972 Says: At the lower end of the Lysebotn hairpin road there's a straight tunnel, in the middle a turn of 340 degrees. The tunnel is without lights, traffic in both directions, and with lots of bicycles without lamps and even without reflectors. Those coming towards us were only seen...
Lysebotnvegen by bike or motorbike
evaanna Says: Lysebotnvegen or the road Adneram - Lysebotn is a great challenge to lovers of bikes and motorbikes. I wouldn't recommend it to beginners though and I even think we could put a ride up or down this road under extreme sports. Steep, narrow and with precipices on both sides,...
evaanna Says: As you go along the deserted mountain road to Adneram, the only living creatures you encounter are sheep grazing by the roadside. You must be careful driving - meeting a sheep lying in the middle of the road basking in the sun on the warm asphalt is not uncommon. The sheep...
evaanna Says: When we had already installed ourselves at the hostel at Lysebotn, we went to the port pier to admire the magnificent scenery. There were a few yachts moored there for the night but, apart from a few children from the yachts playing around, there was hardly anyone in...

Lysebotn is a tiny village in the innermost part of the Lysefjord in Rogaland. I had seen it on the webcams before and wanted very much to see it in reality. And this year my dream came true, if not...

The hairpin road to Lysebotn is nicest driving downward, when you have a beautiful view. We came from the east side, slept in the Setesdal on road 9. Just a hotel on the road, I didn't notice a...

.. and the view over Lysefjord is not so "extreme" as I was expecting. Actually you can see only the end of the fjord from that restaurant Oygardstol. And I had to drive few hrs from Stavanger to see...
