Route description

From the car park in front of the Lynghaug chapel go back the way you came here by car for about 350 metres. Take the turn to the right in the direction of Omnbukta. Look for the sign saying “Stavneset fyr” (“Stavneset lighthouse”). Follow the road from here. This is a private road. You might get an impression that you are in the middle of somebody's yard at this point, and in fact you are, but you should continue walking further. Once you are in Omnbukta, instead of walking down to the seaside follow the path that runs to the left right next to he fence of a house. Walk the path so that the fence is your left-hand side. From here, you cannot get lost. The path goes straight to Stavneset. Several tables and benches are set up along the path. Take a moment to sit down and enjoy the view of the ocean.
