Sveio

Whether you’re travelling by sea or by road, Sveio is located strategically midway between Bergen and Haugesund. The main coast road (E39) runs through the municipality, while shipping routes use the sea area of Sletta, passing Ryvarden Lighthouse and through Bømlofjorden Fjord. 

In Sveio, it is possible to experience both the sea and the rugged countryside. There are many hiking tracks, traversing various terrain. On a clear day from the mountain top Trodlavassnipen, you can see as far as Bergen in the north and Stavanger in the south. Sveio is renowned for its freshwater and sea-angling areas. Haugalandet's largest golf course is located close to the centre of Sveio, and for those who prefer art, Ryvarden Lighthouse Cultural Centre always has an interesting exhibition on display and something tasty on offer in the café. Flòkehyttene, the village Førde with the Rhododendron Park “Rex Garden”, and “Fartein Valen`s Landscape” in Valevåg is also worth visiting.

The Vigdarvassdraget watercourse comprises of more than 30 large and small lakes with Vigdarvatnet Lake (7kmx2km) as the largest. Trout is to be found in all the lakes and Char in some of them. Salmon and Sea Trout can enter the watercourse at Ålfjorden Fjord.
