Gjesdal

Gjesdal is best known within Norway for the 92-metre Månafossen waterfall. This Rogaland municipality extends east from Ålgård, where rugged uplands, narrow valleys and waterways define a largely rural interior. The Figgjo River rises near Edlandsvatnet and flows west towards the North Sea, while Frafjord and the Frafjordheiane area lead into high, open mountain country. Near the border with Bjerkreim, Gloppedalsura is an immense boulder field beside the valley road. Ålgård also has an industrial legacy: De Forenede Ullvarefabrikker, a woollen-mill company established in 1879, helped make the settlement a manufacturing centre.
