Rogaland

Rogaland extends along Norway's western coast, featuring fjords, mountains, and agricultural lands across 23 municipalities with Stavanger as its administrative center.

The region evolved from an ancient Germanic tribal territory called Rygjafylke during the Viking Age into a significant administrative district of Norway in 1919.

The Stavanger Symphony Orchestra performs regular concerts throughout the year, while numerous festivals celebrate local music, arts, and petroleum industry innovations.

The county maintains an extensive network of roads and ferry connections, linking coastal communities with inland regions and serving nearly 500,000 residents.

Rogaland houses Prekestolen, a natural rock formation rising 604 meters above Lysefjorden, drawing thousands of visitors to its flat mountain plateau.
