Day 3: Stavanger – Kjerag – Stavanger
Breakfast. This day can be dedicated to exploration and discovery of the surroundings of Stavanger. We highly recommend you visit one of the mythical places of this region - a real must see is the mountain of Kjerag located in Lysefjorden. There are two ways to get there: by car (in this case you will spend about 2.5 hours one way driving from Stavanger and then drop your vehicle at the paid parking at Oygardstol where the path to Kjerag starts). As it is quite a long way to drive, we suggest you start early. On your way to this wonderful place you will find numerous viewpoints from where you may admire absolutely breathtaking views - so take your time to make some stops.

The other way to get there is to drive until you arrive to Lauvvik (about 1 hour) and get a small ferry from there but as it´s rather small we advise you to call in advance to book a ticket if you want to take the car with you. Please take into account that this is rather expensive: a one way ticket will cost you about 300 euro 2 PAX+1 car (about 2.5 hours). Also don’t forget your hiking boots! Just please keep in mind that these routes are planned for people with trekking experience so they would seem rather difficult for first-timers.

Once you are there, hike about 6 km to get to Kjeragbolten and then make a climb of about 500 metres. At Kjerag your way will go up and down until you reach a plateau from where you will observe the fascinating views with mountains and sparkling water all around.
