Enjoy the magnificent view of the North Sea with its islets, lighthouses and skerries, hike through the enchanted forest past small streams and the remains of an old cabin with sling shots in the trees. This is a wonderful trip with a historical twist.

Voted best hiking route in Rogaland

It is not without reason that the Hestnes hiking route in Egersund beat five other hiking routes in a competition to find the best hiking route in the county. The route's natural character and the opportunity for nature experiences in proximity to the town centre of Egersund were factors that made Hestnes Rogaland's best hiking route. In addition, the route has several interesting viewpoints where visitors can look out over the sea, and natural stopping points where visitors can enjoy a picnic under the trees in a quiet cove. What's more, the Hestnes hiking trail is not only for locals, but also for visitors.
