The final stage of your journey is a short and easy ride from Sandnes to Stavanger. After many days of cycling through mountains, valleys and along fjords, this is a chance to slow down and enjoy the last kilometres of the route.
Much of the route follows the coastline, passing small woods, parks and quiet residential neighbourhoods. You cycle on a mix of cycle paths, recreational trails and low-traffic roads. There are plenty of benches and lovely places to stop along the water, so take your time and enjoy the views. This is also a popular route for local cyclists commuting between Sandnes and Stavanger.
As you approach Stavanger, the surroundings become more urban, with residential and industrial areas along the way. The route passes Stavanger railway station before continuing down to Vågen, the harbour in the heart of the city. This is where the route ends, right in the centre of Stavanger, with cafés, restaurants and the city’s old wooden houses just a short walk away.
