Bratteli
La ferme de Bratteli, située sur la rive nord du Lysefjord, est réputée pour ses pentes abruptes. Témoin d'une histoire remontant au XVIIe siècle, Bratteli constitue un site culturel important offrant une vue imprenable sur le fjord.
Bratteli is a farm located on the steep mountainside along the north side of Lysefjorden. The name of the farm is well-deserved due to its high elevation and challenging terrain, which has been known to cause difficulty for the locals. There is a humorous saying that children were tied to the trees with ropes to prevent them from falling down the slope and into the fjord. Moreover, the steep hills have caused travelers along the fjord to wish that one of their legs was shorter than the other.
Bratteli was a working farm from the 1600s until the late 1700s, and over time, several crofters settled on the farm. They cultivated grass mainly for feed on the infield, and the remnants of the haylofts can still be seen today. The field is cleared of stones, and stone fences have been built around the area. However, the cultural landscape is threatened by overgrowth. Brattliåna cuts through deep gorges, connecting several vital natural types, providing potential for high biological diversity.
Throughout its history, Bratteli has been divided into four parts. The lower part was inhabited until 1970. Today, residential houses have been converted into vacation homes, and there are also several cabins in the area. As a result, lights can still be seen in the windows from time to time.
Bratteli is a popular destination for tourists who use the ferry pier by the fjord and hikers who follow the main trail from Preikestolen and continue towards Bakken and Songesand. With a fantastic view of Lysefjorden and the surrounding landscape, Bratteli is a unique place that has a special place in Norwegian cultural history.

La ferme de Bratteli, située sur la rive nord du Lysefjord, est réputée pour ses pentes abruptes. Témoin d'une histoire remontant au XVIIe siècle, Bratteli constitue un site culturel important offrant une vue imprenable sur le fjord. Perchée à 173 mètres au-dessus du Lysefjord, la ferme de Bakken possède une riche histoire datant de la fin du XVIIIe siècle et a jadis abrité des personnalités fascinantes telles que Pilt-Ola (Ole Olsen Sangesand) et les frères et sœurs Johannes et Gjertrud. Aujourd'hui, l'Office de Tourisme de Stavanger a transformé Bakken en un chalet confortable, doté d'un four à pizza au feu de bois, le long du sentier de randonnée du Lysefjord.
