On Wild Country Roads
in Magma Geopark

Start your journey in Flekkefjord, wandering through its white wooden Dutch quarter, narrow streets and coastal cafés and small shops. If you stay overnight, take a short trip to Hidra, reached by a free ferry. The island offers quiet harbours, coastal paths and easy viewpoints — perfect for a peaceful detour with strong coastal heritage.

After breakfast, travel by ferry to the island of Hidra. Explore the island by e-bike, with or without a guide, visiting Hågåsen fortress and the fishing village of Kirkehamn. The tour offers panoramic views, local history and an authentic glimpse of coastal life.

Lunch is served at Isbua by the harbour in Kirkehamn, before cycling back and returning to the mainland by ferry. In the afternoon, choose between high-speed excitement at Motorcenter Norway or a cultural visit to Jøssingfjord Science Museum.

Later, check in at Sogndalstrand Kulturhotell, located in a protected tiny town of historic wooden houses. Take a gentle walk through the narrow streets of Sogndalstrand before enjoying dinner at the hotel, known for its focus on local produce and warm hospitality.

After breakfast, choose between different morning experiences. Join a nostalgic boat trip on MS Sjødis along the coast, or explore Jøssingfjord, the houses beneath Helleren and the via ferrata for a more active start.

Continue to Egersund and check in at Grand Hotel Egersund. Lunch is served at Hauen Kro in the preserved wooden district, followed by a guided walk through the historic town centre, learning about fires, rebuilding and everyday life through the centuries.

In the afternoon, the group may split by interest: whisky tasting at Berentsen Brygghus for adults, or frisbee golf in the Vannbassengene recreation area for all ages. The day ends with a harbour sauna and dinner in historic surroundings.

Begin the day with a short walk to Varberg, Egersund’s town hill, offering panoramic views over rooftops, harbour and coastline. The trail is suitable for all ages and passes Bronze Age rock carvings and grazing goats.

Travel onwards to Byrkjedalstunet, where you check in and enjoy lunch in traditional surroundings. In the afternoon, experience a guided via ferrata climb in Gloppedalsura, Northern Europe’s largest scree, a safe and exciting activity for both children and adults. Later, explore Byrkjedalstunet, try candle making, relax in the hot tub or visit the farm animals before dinner.

After breakfast and check-out from Byrkjedalstunet Hotel, visit the powerful Månafossen waterfall and the restored mountain farm at Mån. The walk offers both natural drama and insight into life in this rugged landscape.

The journey concludes with a drive to Stavanger for lunch and time to explore the city, before returning home by Fjordline in the evening.
