The road opens like a map: sea to one side, islands and weathered piers to the other, as a private vehicle slips away from Stavanger toward Bergen. For about six to seven hours you trade the hurry of terminals for a measured coastal run, punctuated by a two‑hour stop at the Dokken Museum in the Haugesund area — a compact window into the herring era where boathouses, salteries and period photos give the sea a human voice.
