Bryne

Skip Bryne unless you need a budget bed near Stavanger or a base for Jæren's agricultural landscape: half a day covers the town.

Bryne is a small agricultural town and the administrative centre of Time municipality, 30 km south of Stavanger. It has a sculpture park, an old grain mill turned art space, and a recreational lake area. Most travellers use it as a cheaper overnight stop or a lunch break on the Jæren route, not a destination.
