What is Ryfylke known for?

Ryfylke is best known for Preikestolen, also known as Pulpit Rock, and Kjerag, which majestically guard Lysefjord, but the adventure does not stop there. Here you can hike in the mountains, paddle in the fjord and float down the river while watching the salmon swim beneath you. Whether you are looking for child-friendly activities for families or experiences for couples or groups, the nature here is authentic, close by and ready to be explored.

How do you get to Ryfylke?

You can travel to Ryfylke by car, boat or bus. Ryfylke is only a short drive from Stavanger Airport Sola and Haugesund Airport Karmøy Airport.

Once you are in Ryfylke, it is not about getting there quickly, but about taking your time. Norwegian Scenic Route Ryfylke does not just take you from A to B – you travel through a living landscape filled with stories, architecture, local food and spectacular nature. From the mouth of Lysefjorden in the south to the mountain pass towards Røldal in the north, unique rest areas await. We recommend that you take a break, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy your lunch while admiring the view.

Explore Lysefjord by ferry. Along the towering mountains you will find hidden treasures such as Flørli and Lysebotn, which offer both food and accommodation. If you are short on time, you can experience Preikestolen from the fjord on a fjord cruise or boat trip.
