Scenic tour to Steinsfjellet, locals at Kringsjå & Rising Tide

About this activity

Discover Nordic nature on an enchanting hike to Kringsjå farm, offering spectacular panoramic views of Haugesund and the surrounding mountains. "Kringsjå" aptly translates to "see all around".

Your journey commences with a short 20-minute bus ride to Steinsfjellet, a popular lookout point overlooking Haugesund. From there, a 15 to 20-minute hike takes you to a traditional Norwegian cabin and farm, where a local shares the rich history and development of this cultural gem.

Witness the farmer's call, summoning wild sheep that roam the area—a delight for all ages to watch them gather. Savor a cup of coffee, tea, or water, accompanied by delectable apple cake before returning to the bus.

On the way back, the bus will stop by the Harald Hårfarge monument and the captivating Rising Tide horse sculptures, adding the perfect finishing touch to your adventure.
