About
Ullandhaug tower - The telecommunications tower was built in 1964. The tower rises 64 metres on a hill 135 m above sea level. From here you have a marvellous view of Stavanger, Ryfylke and Nordjaeren. Harald's Cairn was sited here previously and rocks from the top of this older tower are now placed beside Ullandhaugtarn.

An old communications tower on top of a hill with some fantastic views over Stavanger.
Today only the first level is accessible but to some repairs going on. Inside looked like a small cafe that is obviously closed, possibly due to COVID.
A free car park located around 100m away.
Woodland all around that is also frequented by people exercising and dog walkers.
Its worth a visit for the beautiful views over Stavanger and if you like some woodland exercise.

UllandhaugstĂĄrnet "The Ullandhaug Tower" is all about view. You will get a 360-view over the north of Jaeren, and on cloud-free days you can see Ryfylket, Hafrsfjord, Sola and more. Free parking ;)

This is a spot you don't want to miss while driving around Stavanger. It has views of the city, mountains, and water. I great way to see the entire area and get some great pictures.

The tower is a little way out of town and is a good vantage point for photos but it is quite worn out and the steps were quite uneven so be aware. There is a lot of forest around so difficult sometimes to see afar. I found the stones were lovely to photograph and very interesting

I stopped here as part of excursion from a cruise ship. It is a 1960s telecom tower and you get good views from each level. It appears rather tatty.

This was one of the stops on a tour we took with our cruise ship.
Unfortunately it was a very wet day so we didn't get any photographs but there was a great view over the city.

I really don't know why our information told us that this place would be open on a Sunday, or exactly what would be open to be honest. There are external steps up to viewing platforms which offer a 360 degree panorama of the surrounding towns and fjords, which is nice, but all the doors were locked despite us being there at the apparent "opening times".

It is a little way out of the town center but once you get there the view of Stavanger and the surrounding area is magnificent.

Even though your climb is limited to the first two levels, the 360 degree view from this communications tower overlooking Stavanger and the surrounding area is magnificent.
