ランガヴァトネットのおすすめライド

From the bridges spanning the Figgjo River, you often have a beautiful view of the interesting river landscape. Carpets of water lilies, green reeds and many other aquatic plants provide plenty of variety.

Planetstien turns your hike through Sandvedparken into a journey through the solar system. Stretching along the Storåna river, this 1:1 billion scale model starts with the Sun near Sandnes center and ends with Pluto towards Ganddal. It is a flat, easy gravel path suitable for cycling and walking. As you travel the green corridor, you pass sculptures representing each planet at their relative distances.

Ålgård is the largest town and administrative centre of Gjesdal municipality. Historically known for its wool and textile industry driven by the Figgjo River, it has evolved into a modern center that was once awarded Norway's prestigious National Prize for Architecture. Today, Ålgård is perhaps best known as the home of Kongeparken, the largest amusement park in Western Norway.

Here you will find a bench overlooking the river, ideal for a rest stop. At the edge of the terrace, you can see the fast-flowing waters of the Figgjo River, while all around, the trees are painted in the typical colors of the season; the paved path is comfortable for walking.

A busy little harbour with a few good coffee stop options nearby. A great place to start or end a ride around Sandnes.

Nicely arranged with seating and restaurants in the area. Close to train station. Car free.

A warm, cosy, and super professional bike shop, where you can fix yourself a delicious custom coffee brew while having a chat with the mechanics who work just behind the counter. The place has the best reputation among the locals (including pro team racers), and is also an an amazing place to visit for any traveler looking for a spare part, a service, or simply tips about cycling in the area. And if you come on Saturdays, chances are there will be some warm waffles 😋

Here it is worth taking a quick break from the road bike and jump into the Atlantic. The longest beach in Norway is paired with the finest sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Only the water temperatures of a maximum of 17 degrees in the high season could deter one or the other. Nix for warm shower!
