Lysebotn at the end of Lysefjord

Lysebotn sits at the end of Lysefjord - one of the pearls of Fjord Norway - and gets many visitors in the summer on the car ferry or tourist fast boats from Stavanger, plus some of those coming for the hike to Kjerag.
This is a town built on hydro-electricity - the sculpture below shows people putting up the water wheel of a hydro-turbine - and that is why most people are here.
For seven months of the year it is accessible only by boat.

Lysebotn and the car ferry arriving

sculpture to hydro-electric power The road to Sirdal was finished in 1984 but is only open through the summer, starting some time in May.
There is a campsite here, and a guesthouse and farms in the outlying area. It is most alive from June to mid-August, with base jumpers from around the world coming here to jump off Nesatind and Kjerag.
Two of the main reasons to travel here - apart from to experience the road - are the walk to Kjerag and the ferry through Lysefjord , back towards Stavanger
