Hiking

Walk among the pearls of Sunnhordland

Experience fantastic walks at the top of Langfoss, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, across Norway’s third biggest glacier Folgefonna, or by the open sea on the North Sea Trail to Ryvarden Culture Lighthouse. There are many contrasts in the landscape, and many of the attractions are so close to each other that you can enjoy them in one day!

There are around 200 waymarked and graded walking paths in Sunnhordland. You can walk up to a summit of 1,426 metres or do easier walks that are suitable for the whole family.

Before you go for a hike check out the Norwegian mountain code: FJELLVETTREGLANE.

Always talk to your local tourist office or local people before going out on a long hike. Check the weather forecast and always bring clothes for wind and rain, good hiking clothes and hiking shoes, something to eat and drink.
