Main content intro
A calm start in traditional surroundings
Start the day with a relaxed breakfast in scenic surroundings.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast at Byrkjedalstunet before packing a lunch to bring along for the day. A calm and practical start, setting the pace for a day spent outdoors together.
A family-friendly hike to one of Rogaland’s most impressive waterfalls.
The hike begins at Eikeskog and follows a well-marked trail with steps and some steeper sections, secured with chains where needed. Along the way, several viewpoints offer spectacular views of Månafossen, ranked among Norway’s top waterfalls. Continue a little further to reach Mån, where the restored mountain farm tells the story of life in this dramatic landscape until 1915. The hike is considered easy and takes around two hours round trip.
A scenic break by the water, with optional adventure.
On the way back, stop in Frafjord to enjoy your packed lunch by the fjord. Those looking for extra adventure can join a guided or self-guided SUP or kayak trip with Frafjord SUP & Kayak, suitable for the whole family. Others may prefer to relax on the pier with a coffee and take in the surroundings.
A scenic drive through a dramatic landscape shaped by ice.
Continue towards Bjerkreim on a beautiful drive that passes through Gloppedalsura, Northern Europe’s largest rock pile. It consists of landslide blocks from a large landslide 10,000 years ago, which lie on top of an end moraine.
Meet the animals and taste local produce.
At Nyyyt, a family-run farm business, you’ll find high-quality products made from local ingredients. Take a walk among the pigs, explore the farm shop and experience food production close to its source. Opening hours vary by day, so plan accordingly.
Creative activities and time to explore.
Spend the afternoon back at Byrkjedalstunet, exploring the area and visiting the candle workshop. Here, both children and adults can dip and decorate their own candles to take home. No booking is required, simply ask in the shop.
End the day with a shared meal.
After a day of nature, movement and exploration, gather around the table for dinner at Byrkjedalstunet. Here, traditional Norwegian dishes are prepared from scratch, often using local ingredients, and served in warm, historic surroundings that invite conversation and shared moments. The pace is unhurried, the atmosphere informal, and the meal offers a natural pause before the evening settles in.
