Gandsfjord, Norwegian fjord in Stavanger and Sandnes Municipality, Norway

Gandsfjord extends for 13 kilometers between Stavanger and Sandnes, reaching depths of 244 meters near Hillevåg, while connecting to Boknafjorden.

The name Gandsfjord originates from the Norse word 'gandr', referring to the straight path of the waterway through the Norwegian landscape.

The eastern shores of Gandsfjord feature 30 kilometers of marked hiking trails where local residents maintain strong connections to outdoor activities.

The western side of Gandsfjord contains developed areas including Hillevåg, Hinna, Forus, and Lura, connected by Road 44 and railway tracks.

The fjord presents contrasting landscapes: urbanized flat terrain on the western bank and mountainous formations reaching 350 meters on the eastern side.
