Lifjell, hike in the terrain

About

For a great view, Lifjell is one of the best viewing points of northern Jæren. From the top, you can enjoy magnificent views of Stavanger, the Gandsfjord, the North Sea and Ryfylke. 

About the hike
This is a hike where you can go from wading on the shore in idyllic Bjorhamn to following cairns on ice polished mountain tops 297 m a.s.l. The first and last part of hike goes through high-rise birch forests, and in in the hills along the Gandsfjord, you may hear rich bird song in the mixed woodlands here. For those of you who prefer a shorter alternative, there is a marked shorter path from Øksendalen (valley) to Revsdalen (valley). Signs will show where to exit from the track. Wear good and sturdy hiking shoes, the terrain varies between soft forest paths, wet paths and rocky mountain tracks.
