Ryfylke is a sheltered fjord region, located northeast of Stavanger and east of Haugesund. Ryfylke National Tourist Route is a 183-kilometre-long stretch of road between Oanes by the Lysefjord to Hordalia in Røldal, in the county of Rogaland in Fjord Norway. Along Ryfylke National Tourist Route you pass villages, towns and cultural attractions like old industrial buildings and the abandoned 19th century zinc mines at Allmannajuvet. The melting plants in Sauda, deep amid the mountains and waterfalls of Ryfylke, offer a good starting point for a trip through Norwegian industrial history. A detour south from the road brings the traveller to Preikestolen Mountain Lodge, from which a prepared path goes up to the famous Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) with its magnificent view over the Lysefjord. As you travel the scenic road you will discover picnic areas set in beautiful surroundings, and cultural monuments that are centuries or even thousands of years old.
There are two panoramic view and rest areas: Ropeid, which is a ferry landing with service building, and Svandalsfossen, a parking lot with steps along the Svandalsfossen Waterfall. The waterfall is a well-known attraction in Sauda, and a magnificent view when the river runs high.
