Stavanger's signature day out. A short hop east (now bridge-and-tunnel linked) brings you to the Preikestolen trailhead for the famous cliff hike high above the Lysefjord, or simply to viewpoints over the fjord itself. With energy to spare, detour to Frafjord and the thundering Månafossen, Rogaland's biggest waterfall. Add a Lysefjord cruise if you'd rather not hike.
