Stage 6:
Sirdal – Byrkjedal

This stage is not too demanding, on paper. After some good uphills between the valleys of Sirdal and Hunnedalen, it is downhill all the way to Byrkjedal. However, there are often headwinds in this spectacular, glacier-cut valley. North of Hunnedalen lies the Frafjordheiane landscape conservation area, the starting point for many fine mountain hikes – summer and winter. The trip down to Byrkjedal is beautiful. There are steep mountain sides along the beautiful Dirdal River. Large boulders are scattered around as silent witnesses to the last ice age. Byrkjedal is a little hub for travelers from several directions. Here you can relax and enjoy nature, a nice meal and a good night’s sleep, before the last stage back to civilization.
