Walks in the Central Parts of the City 1. Storhaug This is an exciting round-walk from Obstfelders Plass (Obstfelder’s square) to the idyllic Ramsvig, returning via Rosenli, Tou Scene and Badedammen. The route goes through the old part of Stavanger at Blåsenborg and the residential area along Jelsagata and round Storhaugmarka, before continuing past Midjord and down to Ramsvig. From Ramsvig, the walk continues along the sea, first past Rosenli and Breivig, and then through the former industrial area from the heyday of the canning industry. The last part of the walk follows the Blue Promenade before returning to Obstfelders Plass via the characteristic ABC-quarter. 2. Eiganes The Eiganes walk starts at Kiellandshagen. Many elegant timber and brick villas were built along the historical Eiganesveien during the period from 1850 to 1920. The Kielland family’s summer residence, Ledaal, and Breidablikk are well-known tourist attractions, but there are also many private villas of high architectural quality. The walk ends at the Rogaland Museum of Fine Arts where you may study the largest collection of Lars Hertervig’s work in the country. Jelsagata 49 Above: Ledaal. Below: Stokkabrautene 3. A Cross-section of the City This walk starts in the harbour and goes via Old Stavanger to Store Stokkavatnet and back (approximately 6 km in total). Along the walk, it is possible to observe the expansion of the city and the development of the houses from 1750 to the present day. Small deviations are recommended in order to see several interesting housing projects not on the main route. VIEWS AND WALKS 82
Brochures describing the 3 walks are available at the Stavanger municipality’s Service Centre (Servicetorget). Also available is a pamphlet describing architecture and other sights along the Blue Promenade. Other pamphlets, including one for “Old Stavanger”, are under preparation.
