Small adventures together
A calm start in traditional surroundings
Start your day with a relaxed breakfast in scenic surroundings.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast at Byrkjedalstunet before packing a packed lunch for today's trip. A calm and practical start that sets the pace for a day out in nature together.
Visit one of Rogaland's most impressive waterfalls
The hike follows a well-marked trail with stairs and some steeper sections, secured with chains where necessary. Along the way, there are several vantage points with spectacular views of Månafossen, which is considered one of Norway's most beautiful waterfalls.
If you continue a little further, you'll come to Mån. The restored mountain farm tells the story of life in this dramatic landscape until 1915. The hike is considered relatively easy and takes around two hours round trip.
A scenic break by the fjord, with the opportunity for some extra activity
On the way back, you can stop in Frafjord and enjoy a packed lunch by the fjord. Those looking for a little extra activity can join a guided or self-organised SUP or kayak trip at Frafjord SUP & Kayak. This is suitable for the whole family.
Others may prefer to relax on the dock with a coffee and just take in their surroundings.
A beautiful drive through landscapes shaped by ice
Continue towards Bjerkreim on a scenic road that passes through Gloppedalsura, Northern Europe's largest rock quarry. The area is made up of huge boulders from a major rock slide around 10,000 years ago, lying on top of an end moraine from the last ice age.
Meet the animals and taste local products
At Nyyyt, a family-run farm business, you'll find quality products made from local ingredients. Take a walk among the pigs, explore the farm shop and get close to the food production. Opening hours vary, so you may want to plan your visit in advance.
Creative activities and time to explore
Spend the afternoon at Byrkjedalstunet. The hotel has many exciting exhibitions. Explore the area and take a trip to the candle foundry. Both children and adults can dip and decorate their own candles to take home. No pre-booking is necessary, just ask in the shop.
End the day around the table
After a day of nature, movement and adventure, you'll gather for dinner at Byrkjedalstunet. Here, traditional Norwegian dishes are prepared from scratch, often with local ingredients, served in warm and historic surroundings that invite good conversation and fellowship.
