Sveio is renowned for its freshwater and sea-angling areas.
Sveio
Sveio, midway between Bergen and Stavanger. The E39 highway runs through Sveio municipality, while much of the region’s boat traffic follows the Sveio coastline, crossing the waters of Sletten near Ryvarden and along the side of the Bømlofjord. In Sveio, it is possible to experience both the sea and the rugged countryside. There are many hiking tracks, marked and unmarked, traversing various terrain. On a clear day from the mountain top, Trollavassnipen, you can see as far as Bergen in the north and Stavanger in the south.
Sveio is renowned for its freshwater and sea-angling areas. Haugalandet’s new golf course is located close to the centre of Sveio, and for those who prefer art, Ryvarden Lighthouse Cultural Centre always has an interesting exhibition on display and something tasty on offer in the café.
