Månafossen
A 92 m waterfall, one of the tallest in southwestern Norway. A chain-assisted trail takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the viewing platform.
Månafossen lies in the Frafjord valley about 50 km southeast of Stavanger. It is the tallest waterfall in Rogaland County, with a vertical drop of 92 m. When water flows heavily, mist fills the air, and rainbows often appear in the sunlight. From the car park, a steep trail of stone steps and chains takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the viewing platform, climbing roughly 200 m. Hold on to the chains where it is slippery, and wear non-slip shoes. Admission is free, but parking costs money. You can drive from Sandnes via Gjesdal, and combine the visit with the Frafjord fjord scenery and the Dirdal area for a half-day trip.
