The
lovely thing about Gamle Skudeneshavn - and other old wooden towns in the
area - is that these are not museums, people live and work here. This was
an important ship-building town in the tall wooden ship era, and there is
still shipbuilding and fishing here today.
Most of the houses are white - and have to stay that way. Maelandsgarden is a museum that is open in the summer season. Map reference: Rogaland Fylkeskart (scale 1:200 000): 2862 65624 By car: From Stavanger take the E39 north, then take the Mekjarvik road just before the under-sea tunnel, and get the ferry to Skudeneshavn. From Haugesund take the RV 47 south, over the bridge to Karmoy and down to the south of the island. Parking: Several small parking areas just off the main RV 47 road By bus: Route 540 goes from Skudeneshavn to Kopervik, route 530 goes from Kopervik to Haugesund, route 511 goes to Kopervik and Haugesund.
