Destination of this week is Stavanger, Norway.
Stavanger is a city in the county of Rogaland, Norway. The city is a combination of new and old influences. It has also been the shooting location for Norwegian movies such as Mongoland and Mannen som elsket Yngve (The Man Who Loved Yngve), which received some recognition by Variety magazine.
As we all Know, Norway is a country of Fjords. Lysefjorden is one of the most popular fjords for hiking in Norway. Tourists typically visit places like Prekestolen (aka the Pulpit Rock), and Kjeragbolten. Prekestolen is a massive rock overhanging the fjord (604 meters above). Kjeragbolten is a rock wedged in the cliff approx. 1000 meters above the fjord. The straight fall 1000 meters down to the fjord makes Kjerag a very popular location for BASE jumping. These two places are also rated among the top 15 most spectacular rock climbs in the world!
Not too far from Stavanger, alpine centers are ready for skiers and snowboarders throughout the winter season.
Along the coast south of Stavanger there are a number of large, sandy beaches, including at Sola, which is within closest reach from the city.
