Cycle along the Wild North Sea

This route blends coastal charm, cultural heritage, and raw beauty of nature. Good food, friendly people, and the calm rhythm of the ride make it a coastal adventure to remember. Add on a surf class to really get the most out of this North Sea experience!

The journey begins in Egersund, a small, coastal town framed by cliffs and colorful wooden houses. Your first ride follows quiet roads out toward the coast, with gentle hills, small farms, and sandy coves that invite a swim. Leaving Egersund, the route continues north toward Bryne, following stretches of the North Sea Route and parts of the historic King’s Road over the hills. You’ll pass through peaceful farmland, along winding lanes, lighthouses and beaches. It´s easy cycling through the open Jæren landscape – a mix of sea, sand, and sky that defines this unique corner of Norway.

There will most likely wind along the way and a few hills, but your e-bike will make every climb and coastal breeze feel effortless — picked up at your arrival hotel and conveniently returned at your departure hotel. The trip can also be done the opposite direction. As there are train stations both in Bryne and Egersund, it is easy to get here by public transport.

Today you leave charming Egersund. The old railtrack of Jærbanen has been transformed to a gravel leasure path that runs on both sides of the existing railtrack, and with some great views over the coast. The next section is passing over the highlands following the ancient main road and it´s really beautiful and quiet. No cars, just you and the birds and the sheeps. The hills are steep up and down. Coming down from the mountains to the seaside on the other side is great fun.

From here it´s ocean, beaches, sky and farmland. Add on a lot of historical buildings, the classical Jæren stone fences, museums and lighthouse. Stop at Hå Gamle Prestegård with a gallery and cozy café by the beach. Refsnes Beach is a small, beautiful sandy beach well worth a short detour. The last stretch leads you along the countryside roads to Bryne Kro & Hotell, where you will stay the next night. Here you can relax and really enjoy dinner at the hotel´s restaurant.
