The Lysefjord offers an overwhelmingly beautiful landscape. In addition to the dramatic panorama views from Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) and Kjerag, you might be equally rewarded by tranquil vistas from a hillside by the fjord or overlooking the lush valleys of inner Ryfylke.
You may be tempted to ascend Skomakernibbå, Reinarnuten or Napen, but be sure to slow your pace and stop at the many viewpoints along the Ryfylke Road.
Like fingers on a hand the fjord arms of the Boknafjord stretch eastwards – the Høgsfjord, Jøsenfjord, Lysefjord, Sandsfjord and Saudafjord.
You can cross or travel the length of Ryfylke's fjords by express boat, ferry or sightseeing boat. However, you can also follow the roads along the fjords, such as the scenic Lyse Road and Ryfylke Road (Rv13), or head inland on the mountainous Røldal Road.
Suldalslågen River in Suldal is known for excellent salmon fishing in its strong currents, and the roaring waters of Sandsfossen Waterfalls can be heard all year round. Another salmon river, Storåna, runs through Årdal.
In Sauda, the magnificent Svandalsfossen Waterfall is easily accessible from the new car park.
Numerous waterfalls cascade into the Lysefjord, and if you are lucky the sightseeing boat will take you right up to the falls for a taste.
