Rogaland Essentials

Rogaland’s landscape is defined by the deep Lysefjord, home to the 604-meter-high Preikestolen cliff and the Kjeragbolten boulder. In Stavanger, the region's urban center, 18th-century timber houses in Gamle Stavanger stand alongside the 12th-century Stavanger Cathedral. The area's history is marked by the Sverd i fjell monument, commemorating the 872 AD Battle of Hafrsfjord, and industrial heritage preserved in the Norwegian Petroleum and Canning Museums. Natural landmarks include the 92-meter Månafossen waterfall and the extensive dunes of Solastranden.
