Old road from Giljastølen to Frafjord
In
about 2000, a new tunnel was built through the mountain from Gilja to
Frafjord. The old road used to go over the top (Giljastølen) and
snake down the mountain side to Frafjord. |

We
recommend that you get one member of the party to drop you off at the top
and meet you at the bottom, but if that seems too easy, you can go both
ways. Please be sensible - make sure your bikes are well-maintained, and don't go too fast in case of something unexpected up ahead. The road is almost blocked on one bend by rubble. That said, this has fantastic views, completely peaceful and no traffic. In April we were the first to use it in months. Enjoy. This makes part of a day trip from Stavanger Norway. From the bottom, Månafossen waterfall is only a few minutes away by car, and Gloppedal with its glacial terminal moraine, and Byrkjedal kro with good food, candle shop and dipping and farm buildings are a few minutes up the valley from Gilja. Map reference: 430 244 - 432 260 Rogaland county map(scale 1:200 000) By car: From Stavanger south down the E39 past Algard, then left onto the RV45 past Dirdal, then left to Gilja and up the hill to Giljastølen. Driver then comes down, through the tunnel and left turn down to the settlement of Frafjord by the end of the fjord. Parking: By bus: no Distance from Stavanger: 50 km |
