Hiking in Stavanger: Get out of the city and explore! Most trails are marked with a "T" painted on rocks. For longer treks, there are log cabins to use in the mountains.

Solastranden: In summer there's no better place to be than the beach. Solastranden has some small waves, perfect if you want to learn to surf. Climb the sand dunes and discover the defences left from the 1940s occupation.
