Public transport

It is possible to travel by bus or boat to many of the protected area’s approaches. For example, the Setesdalsekspressen bus service between Kristiansand and Haukeli will take you right past Langeid, Brokke, Berg and Hovden. In Ryfylkefjordane, there are boat services from Stavanger to Lysebotn, Hjelmeland and Sand that are the starting points for further transport to the approaches in the west. There is also a bus service between Stavanger and Lysebotn during the summer. In addition, there are many local bus services that will get you to suitable starting points for trips into the protected areas. An overview of information about public transport services and timetables can be found at the national travel planner Entur.  

Accommodation

Many tourism companies can be found on the outskirts of the protected areas. You can choose between staying at hotels or more simpler overnight stays at campsites or rental cabins. There is a strong focus on local food and the dissemination of local culture, so you can look forward to an interesting stay in and around SVR. A complete overview of accommodation possibilities can be found at Visit Sørlandet and Visit Rogaland.
