Description.

A varied and slightly hilly route southwest of Stavanger city centre. The route first runs through residential areas, then through fairly dense forest, eventually along the sea and finally on a peaceful footpath along Madlafloen. There are good viewpoints on both sides of Ullandshaugveien. A large, beautiful green area with a small beach at the bottom of Møllebukta, where you’ll also find the famous and large monument «Sword in the Mountain», commemorating the Battle of Hafrsfjord.
