Stage 3:
Jørpeland – Årdal

From Jørpeland, enjoy a few gentle kilometers along the fjord, with wide views over the Ryfylke basin. One sees Rennesøy and glimpses of several other Ryfylke islands and islets, as well as Stavanger in the distance. The village of Tau, known for its beautiful Møllepark, is worth a stop. From here, the route turns east, past Lake Bjørheimsvatnet. On each side of Lake Tysdalsvatnet, steep mountain sides tower hundreds of meters above the water. Here you cycle without traffic on the old road, through wild nature. The last kilometers towards Årdal must be cycled on national road 13, without a cycle path. The road through Målandsdalen goes over a saddle, and here there can be a lot of traffic and trucks.
