Berglyd is located in Sokndal in the very south of Rogaland,
right by Vatland and Nesvåg. The Viking Orvar Odd
was born and grew up here.
On the way up to Berglyd, you'll first come across a spectacular boulder balancing on a rocky outcrop just off the road. The stone was placed here when the ice melted 10,000 years ago. The road up to Berglyd is worth a trip in itself, and once you're in Odd's childhood kingdom, you might want to walk over the hill and come down to Åvendal. At Berglyd you'll find Faksektjern. Fakse was Odd's horse. Turn off onto county road 33. I would recommend parking your car and walking up to Berglyd (and even further).
