We travel 2551 meters uphill and 3545 meters downhill, given departure and arrival in Sokndal. You can start the journey in Egersund, or use it as a connection from Stavanger and return to the same place. This route includes around 15,000 turns, so there's plenty of fun to be had. What you lose along Jæren, you'll make up for with 10 kilometers between Eie and Sogndal.
This is a spectacular journey on two wheels and there are probably not many alternatives to this round trip, which is almost 30 miles long. We assume that you start in Sogndalsstrand and this case and then you start on the national tourist route already here. Tyren via Rekefjord on the way to Egersund includes many sights and lovely towns where people obviously live the good life. The route includes so many bends in hilly terrain that you can drive yourself into nausea on a full stomach.
After the first stretch of tight bends in hilly terrain, you will move up Jæren and Jæren’s reef, which is feared by all seafarers. The smell of pig dung and manure is charming and clearly reminds us where in the world we are. The trip up along the beaches of Jær is calm but pleasant and can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.
Once up at Bryne, we recommend a test of the famous “farse burger” which is an important part of the food customs in this area. A butcher in Bryne fries up around 600 kg of farse every day, which disappears like dew before the sun every single day. Definitely a gastronomic attraction.
From here, the route heads east in a quiet direction towards Ålgård and towards Byrkjedal and Byrkjedalstunet on the way to Sinnes, where it turns south towards Tonstad. Just before arriving at Byrkjedalstunet, you can take a detour towards the famous Månafossen waterfall, which is the largest waterfall in Rogaland with a drop of 92 meters. At Sinnes, we turn south towards Tonstad, where we put on some speed in big, wonderful sweepers. The bakery in Tonstad is definitely a gastronomic attraction, but be aware that it closes at 16:30 every day.
When you eventually get down to the E-39, drive 200 meters east before turning onto Eiaveien and this is where the fun starts. Here you can bring out the best version of yourself and take part in a carnival-like experience you’ll never forget as a motorcyclist. Pay attention because it’s hilly, narrow and winding, but it’s crazy fun. This is a driving experience that not only contributes to the cheerfulness of the mind (as it says on Freia’s milk chocolate), it can unfortunately also contribute to you not being able to sleep later that night. That’s just the way it is.
Well blown, on arrival at one of the well-known treehouse bays (Sogndalsstrand, Egersund or Flekkefjord) you can just enjoy good food and drink and a much-needed de-brief.
Support
This primarily depends on whether you have a GPS installed, navigate by App on your mobile phone or prefer paper printing. Here we describe the most common workflows:
Many of the routes on Hubriding use the app Ride with GPS app for route planning and navigation of the routes. You can download a free version or pay for extended use. Click on the Send to Device link on the map on this page, when the app has started and you see the current route, press Navigate and then just follow the route.
Hubriding means that, based at one of De Historiske hotels, you can choose from a number of defined driving routes in the area surrounding the hotel. The routes we offer go through some of Norway’s very best terrain and include tens of thousands of bends, spectacular mountain passes, asphalt, gravel, wonderful nature experiences and the opportunity to eat well at local establishments. We’ve included sights and eateries for you to visit in the routes. You will be able to choose from a number of routes and route combinations that make it possible to choose daily stages of varying length and difficulty. The concept has been developed by Straand Hotel in Vrådal together with Norway’s leading motorcycle enthusiasts.
