The skerries

Guided boat trips out to the skerries and islands are made each day, mostly during the summer. Departure from several destinations.

Lindesnes Lighthouse

Lindesnes Lighthouse was first lighted in 1655, and it is still in use. The area contains a restaurant, a café, a cinema, various exhibitions and a souvenir shop. You will also find a number of marked trails for hiking nearby.

The Suleskarvegen Road

From fjords to mountains; from town atmosphere to true Norwegian culture - experience the diversity of Norwegian nature by cycling or driving the Suleskarvegen Road.

The Suleskarvegen Road will take you through beautiful nature with rivers, tall mountains and vallies. Make a stop at Byrkjedalstunet, where you can eat traditional food. 

When you get to Sirdal, drive to Forsand and meet all the sheep grazing along the road. The hydro electrical power developments here are noticable. After a short drive, you reach a mountain plateau 932 metres above sea level

Continue on your way and visit the Eagle's Nest Restaurant Øygardstøl. From here you can enjoy the panorama view of the Lysefjord, the 27 hairpin bends that leads to Lysebotn, as well as the township of Lysebotn. Øygardstøl is the starting point for the hike to Kjerag. Note: The restaurant is only open during the summer season.

The road continues to Setesdal, a valley known for its many silversmiths. A nice finish to your trip along Suleskarvegen, can be to visit the historic and Dalen Hotel in Tokke.
