Stage 4: Årdal – Songesand/Lysebotn
Songesand Road runs from Årdal, over Lyngsheia to the Lysefjord. The mountain pass is not long and with little traffic, but quite steep. On the uphill slopes, Årdal quickly disappears behind you. At Lyngsheia, you get the feeling of being in wilderness, with wide views. On calm days, the mountain peaks are reflected in Lake Sandvatnet. After Mørkebudalen, the route quickly descends towards the Lysefjord. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a fantastic views of the fjord, with Preikestolen in the background. The last kilometers down to Songesand run through a magical wooded gorge, along the river Dalaåna. You can spend the night in magical Songesand, or take the boat on to Lysebotn.
