Viste Beach to Hafrsfjord BridgeThis 4km beautiful coastal trail is part of the North Sea Cycle route and ideal for walking or cycling. It runs through some lovely unspoilt scenery, with an abundance of wild flowers and wild sea views. The trail passes very close to the Alexander Kjelland memorial to the people who lost their lives in the oil platform tragedy. |

The
trail is rather steep in places. Starting at Viste Beach the path goes southwards
past a marina mainly for leisure boats, through some housing and then
back to the coast. The Alexander Kjelland memorial is a big links sculpture
on the cliffs beside the trail. A nice place to stop and enjoy the sea views
and breezes.
The trails ends just before Hafrsfjord Bridge but another trail to Revheim begins on the other side of the bridge.
