Route 1

Sky and sea

On this tour, we focus on open landscapes between sky and sea, surrounded by stunning sandy beaches and views made to be enjoyed. That's why the tour is shorter than the other routes, designed to revitalize body and soul after a few long days on the bike.

After 20 minutes, you can take a detour down to Stavanger city center for a cup of coffee in the color street and a visit to Stavanger's most alternative and trendy neighborhood. Here you'll find cafés in all colors and can fill up with energy for the rest of the trip.

Then continue along the E39 across Tasta until you reach Tananger and continue on to Tungenes Lighthouse. After a brisk walk, take the sea road back towards Tananger via RV 509 and head towards Sola Strandhotell. Here you can choose to enjoy a classic fish soup with a walk on the beach. Before heading back to Kronen Gaard Hotel.

Alternatively, you can choose to extend your beach trip to some of Europe's finest beaches and visit Orre or Bore Stranden via the North Sea Road. Not in the mood for just relaxing? How about booking a surf lesson with one of our partners for an active end to the day? Then you've really earned a delicious 3-course meal with something good by the glass in the evening!
