Varberg

About

Varberg. The city mountain of Egersund. The hike up as well as the top (with telescope!) provide great views of the city, the seaside and the region. Compass roses from the 17th and 19th century. At the foot of Varberg, at the head of Øvre Prestegårdsvei road, there are petroglyphs from the Late Bronse Age (ca. 1000–500 BC), displaying two ships.

Signposted from the center. 15 min. walk.
