Steinsfjellet - PANORAMIC HIKING TOUR - Farm with activities in Haugesund, Haugesund

About

Very close to Haugesund town centre, you find areas excellent for hiking. You can drive all the way to the top, however, park your car at the designated area approximately 100 meters from the top. Follow the tracks from the top of the mountain to Kringsjå cabin. The walk takes about 15 minutes in easy terrain. There is a café here every Sunday between 11 am and 2 pm, except during the schools' Christmas and summer holidays.

There are many routes of varying degrees of difficulties which hiking enthusiasts can embark on. After the visit to Kringsjå, there will be a 15 minutes walk back to the top of Steinsfjellet. Here you can take in the panoramic view of the city, the North Sea, islands and municipalities of the region. On a sunny day you can see the sun set in the ocean.

Adkomst: Fra Haugesund – Skjoldavegen – FV 938: 5,2 km: 12 min

It is not easy to find this place. And you need a car for transport. But if you take the trip to Steinsfjellet, you will have an excellent view of Haugesund city and the nearby area Read full review

Getting up on Steinsfjellet is quite easy, as there is a paved road leading all the way to the top. Which makes it accessible by car, bike, and even on foot. Once on the top, you have an amazing view... Read full review
