Ullandhaug tower

About

Ullandhaug tower - The telecommunications tower was built in 1964. The tower rises 64 metres on a hill 135 m above sea level. From here you have a marvellous view of Stavanger, Ryfylke and Nordjæren.

Each year the tower is decorated with lights for Christmas.

"Harald's Cairn" was sited here previously and rocks from the top of this older tower are now placed beside Ullandhaugtårn.
