Northern county

On this trip, we focus on Nordfylket and Vikingland. The journey starts on the E39 north towards the ferry quay Mortavika. Then we head to Skudeneshavn on the southern tip of Karmøy, follow the signs for Fv47 to reach the most beautiful towns in the west, which can also boast the title of Norway's summer town. A place where a well-deserved ice cream should be on the agenda.

Then continue towards Åkrahamn on the road to Kopervik, which has a great mix of old and new buildings from the Herring Age.

The tour then heads towards Haugesund, where a detour to St. Olav's Church at Avaldsnes is recommended. This is Norway's oldest royal seat, where Harald Fairhair made one of his royal estates and where Vikinggarden on Karmøy is located. Afterwards, the tour continues to Haugesund where a lunch in the charming smeda sundet is recommended, possibly followed by a visit to the Harald support. Before heading back to Sandnes we visit Aksdal and Arsvågen for a well-deserved 3 courses with something good in the glass either at Gamlaværket gjestegiveri or at the venerable Kronen Gaard Hotell.
