Trips

Ogna Camping is a central hub for both short and long excursions on foot, on bike, by train or car. We recommend the Jær beaches, Kongeveien, (The royal road) Pulpit rock, Steinkjerringa, Høg-jæren, lysefjorden and the rocking rock. The beautiful hiking areas along Høg-jæren with amazing panoramic view. A trip along the beaches or a small mountain trip. There are many war memorials. And great hiking trails to many of these.
