This version of Byrkjedalsrunden runs clockwise - i.e. you cycle towards Vatne and then towards Seldal.
This tour takes you along lightly trafficked local roads towards Sviland and then cycling in easy terrain along Søredalen towards Seldal. The route’s first climb is at Seldalsvannet, but don’t worry, it’s only a couple of hundred meters. The route then continues down towards Oltedal where you follow the main road towards Frafjord. In Dirdal, you cycle along a cozy cycle path through the valley before cycling through two tunnels up to Byrkjedalstunet (remember the lights). After a well-deserved break at Byrkjedalstunet, you cycle up to Gloppedalsura, where you can read about Northern Europe’s largest stone quarry and what happened there during World War II. The tour then continues towards the area we characterize as Rogaland’s “inner fillet” when it comes to cultural landscapes (Nedrebø). On arrival at the E39, you must cycle approx. 6 km on the main road before arriving at Skurve, where you cycle on a cycle path via Ålgård all the way to Sandnes. On the E39, it is recommended to cycle in two neat rows so that cars have to overtake properly rather than squeeze past if you cycle in one row. If you want a longer variant (125 km), we recommend the trip via Bue (see separate map). Once there, the chefs are waiting for you, so after a well-deserved rest in historic surroundings, you should treat yourself to a delicious 3-course dinner with something good in the glass while you plan tomorrow’s route!
