Stage 1: Sandnes – Oanes/Forsand
Lysefjordruta starts in the cycling town of Sandnes. You’ll leave Sandnes by cycling up a few hills, before the cycle route winds along Lake Lutsi – a real paddling paradise surrounded by lush mountains with plenty of hiking opportunities. On your way to the Lysefjord, cycle along Høgsfjorden and the settlements of Ims and Høle. From Lauvvik you can see the mouth of the mighty Lysefjord.
Good cycle paths and roads with little traffic, combined with a gentle elevation profile, make this shorter stage suitable for many types of cyclists.
