Nature life

There is much to discover in the Stavanger region for the nature lover.

From beaches to high mountains, the region is rich in nature and you can get fantastic experiences not far from the city. Miles of beaches and their waves attract artists as well as swimmers and surfers, even from abroad. You can take a boat trip to the beautiful fjords which are located just outside the Stavanger peninsula. You have easy access to the Lysefjord, which is known for the spectacular Pulpit Rock and Kjerag. Or maybe you want to take a drive to the ski terrain and slopes?

You can find more information at Region Stavanger and the Norwegian Trekking Association.

In autumn 2011 the Student House was established in the centre of the UiS Ullandhaug campus.

The building is used as the basis of student activities on campus. Here you can find the offices of different student organisations and the student chaplain, as well as the student-run pub, Tappetårnet.
