Hestnes

Hestnes is a developing residential site that is located approximately 4 kilometers south of the town center of Egersund. It was previously considered a separate village but it is now defined as part of the Egersund district. The last several years have seen considerable development at Hestnes with new detached and semi-detached appearances built alongside the longstanding residential properties. Plans by the council are a mixed residential development to take place on the adjacent site at Rundevoll, and bettering local infrastructure, including kindergarten, school and bike path availability. Although it's near urban services, it has a strong feel of nature in community life. There is a walking path very close to Hestnes that is popular among the local residents, as it opens to the North Sea, small islets, and local landscapes with forested areas and small streams and old cabin remains. It is often referenced as one of the prettiest walkable paths in Rogaland that is close and accessible
