How to get to Lysebotn

If you are going to Lysebotn, you can choose to travel by car, bus or boat. Lysebotn is a perfect weekend getaway from the city life in Stavanger, and it is quite possible to have an eventful weekend trip and be back on Sunday afternoon. We always recommend booking a place on the boat in advance, even if you are traveling without a car. There are good transport options between Lysebotn and the starting point for the trip to Kjerag, so feel free to travel without a car.
