This is a pleasant loop around Mosvatnet Lake, with the option to add some paths in adjacent Vålandsparken. Start at the north end of Mosvatnet Park, which is ~2 km southwest of the historic centre. There are wide gravel paths around the lake. It’s a combination of open and wooded terrain, with some lake views. A loop is 3 km.

For more, we suggest a loop around the adjacent Vålandsparken (park). At the eastern end of Mosvatnet (~2 km mark on our map), there’s a path connecting to Vålandsparken. A loop around the park’s paths is ~1.5 km. Take the same connector back to Mosvatnet and complete the lake loop. Bonus: Lit at night!
Add-On: Connect to our Stokkavatnet/linear park route, using the cycle path alongside Madlaveien (Rt. 441) for 1 km (not scenic, it’s a busy road).

A 5-6 km tour of the historic center of Stavanger, paths along the water, a loop around a small lake in Byparken, and great views from the hilltop Valberg Tower.
A dramatic run over the 1 km Stavanger City Bridge on a wide multi-use path. Great views of the water & surrounding geography. Then, enjoy 1.2 km along the eastern waterfront. Combine with our Stavanger Centre route for a longer run.
A popular running spot in western Stavanger. Paths on both sides of the lake, with some lovely water views. Full lake loop is 8.6 km. Can combine with linear park paths headed south of the lake.
A lovely series of waterfront paths around a series of small harbors and marinas, including Golden Strand Beach. Lovely views and scenic running. It's a 7.2 km out and back. Combine with a dip in the Strømvik public pool!
The largest contiguous green space in Stavanger is a good spot for an easy to moderate trail run. 8 km of trails over 370 acres. Mostly wooded and fairly hilly. Great views from the Ullandhaugstårnet Tower!
Two nice routes on Hundvåg, an island located 6 km north of Stavanger. The east end route combines waterfront paths with interior paths through farmland. The northern route is on paths around the northern tip. Can be combined with a 1 km road connection.
