Skykula is perhaps the most beautiful hike you can take in the region.
You cycle up to a real peak and get both views and a great and demanding climb. You start gently along the salmon river Tengs and Bjerkreimselva. Then you cycle towards Ørsdalen in a beautiful valley and mountain landscape. Here it rises steadily towards the top. Skykula can be cycled to the top by road bike or mountain bike. If you want to get all the way up to the radar, you have to leave your road bike behind for the last 100 meters. The tough climb provides an incredible reward at the top. At 906 meters above sea level, Skykula is the highest peak between Ørsdalen and Gyadalen. Here you have unobstructed views in all directions and can see large parts of Rogaland. Just look forward to a little acid in your thighs and beautiful surroundings for your break at the top. The return trip will also be more pleasant.
