Hi, thanks a lot for the advice, I will definitely take some purification tabs and a cooking stove to boil water for the next day. I just checked the thread about the lemmings on this part of the forum. Some of the purifiers posted seem to be a good solution too. Takk!

Hey REs, plenty of good infos again, thank you! Nice pictures too. Walking on these stairs when it rains might be a bit hazardous, it looks pretty stip. For the weather, my only choice is to pick up the month but I will book my tickets in advance and therefore I cannot really change my plans at the last minute except by shortening the tour if the weather is really bad. I will see and bring a poncho! It's funny that you mention Troll Jegeren, I watched it 2 weeks ago at least I am agnostic so they will have trouble smelling me

Hi REs, thanks for these advices! I've read several trip reports about Norway in general and some about Rogaland but I did not find such precise infos about the weather. Thank you very much! I am planning to bring good rain wear and a good tent, I hate sleeping in a soaked sleeping bag... Unfortunately May and June are not an option for me but I will follow your advice and favor August/beginning of September over July. The hotel looks really nice, I might try to pass a night there. I am not sure that the base jumpers are lazy, I would just say crazy Anyway I prefer walking and hikers really earn their beers! You mentioned that you did the North side a few times and that the Southern part might be the best. Why haven't you tried the Southern part? (no trolls I hope!) I really appreciate your help and advices.

Wow thank you REs! This is really kind of you. I am planning to stay in a hotel in Stavanger before and after the trip at least for one night each time but we could definitely try to meet for a beer if you are in town and have time. Besides, good advices from experienced people are always appreciated! I will check (with google translate) the thread you mention! Takk så mye!

Phaser thank you for the phone number, it is a very good idea! _OS_ thank you for the suggestion and the "teasing" picture. I saw many pics of this place and it definitely looks like a place to go! The view is breathtaking

Thanks a lot REJOHN, I really appreciate! I didn't realize it was that far. Maybe i could try to hitchhike or in the worst case I will walk For the shopping I was planning in bringing some lyophilised food and do some shopping in Stavanger before starting the trek. If it's just food I will be able to pack and carry most of what I will need.

Splendid bilder, fantastisk landskap og flott hjemmeside! fra google translate

Takk REJOHN! Your English is really good (at least as good as mine). That's great to be able to drink from rivers/springs! A purification solution is not even required? (aquatabs or somiliar chemicals) Thanks for the advice on the starting point. For the way back to Stavanger i was thinking in taking a ferry from Forsand (it seems that ferries from the Kolombus.no company are stopping in this place). Weather: it's what i thought! I will not take this into account for the dates then. Good to know for the food. I i don't need to carry water I guess I could carry the food with me Thanks again for answering and sorry again for posting in English

Hi All! First of all I apologize for posting in English on a Norwegian forum but I don’t speak Norwegian at all and it seems that the right people to talk to are here I would like to come to Norway this summer for a solo trekking trip to go along the Lysefjorden rundt (it looks absolutely stunning) and I am trying to solve basic logistics questions. I found posts here and used google translate to get some infos but I still have a few questions. First things first, which period would you recommend? From the yearly stats I found it seems to be a bit dryer in July vs August but the difference is not really huge. I don’t drive so I would like to know if taking the ferry from Stavanger to Oanes sounds like a reasonable option to come close to the beginning of the path? It seems that it is possible to do the round trip in 6/7 days which would be great since I would like to limit food and water to reduce weight. Along those lines I was thinking in taking the DNT membership to have access to some of the cabins along the way in case it is pouring rain and to take some water and food. Do you know if the “no service” DNT cabins have drinking water that I could use? Or are they simply a shelter? Do you think it would be possible to buy some food in some of the cabins or should I take all I will need with me? Is there something in particuler I need to be aware of? That's about it Tusen takk!
