Stavanger is a city and municipality in the county of Rogaland in southwest Norway. Stavanger was founded in 1125. It grew into a centre of civic administration and an important south-west coast market town around 1150-1200. With the reformation in 1536, it's role as a religious centre declined. Rich herring fisheries in the 19th century gave the city new life. The city's history is a continuous alternation between upswings and recessions. The city and its surroundings is deeply rooted in religion and Christian life, and for long periods of time its most important industries have been shipping, shipbuilding and the canning industry. In 1969 a new upswing started as oil was first discovered in the North Sea. After much discussion Stavanger was chosen to be the on-shore center for the oil industry on the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. In 2003 Norway was the world's 3rd largest exporter of crude oil.
The renowned fishing town of Hirtshals is found upon a rural corner of the Jutland peninsula that shapes the pointed northern tip of Denmark. This hardworking community is centred around the local seaport, its wharfs and docks stretching into the bountiful waters of the Skagerrak. Views across the harbour and the flat, emerald swathe of surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from atop the Hirtshal Fyr, a tall lighthouse and landmark on the southern outskirts. The ferry terminal in Hirtshals is located at the very centre of the large seaport, on a landing platform between a host of piers dedicated to handling the cargo arriving across the North Sea. It’s a large, wood-panelled building of a modern, wedge-shaped design. Facilities here include ATM machines, a café selling hot drinks (but not food), a bank of payphones, toilets and a lift leading up to the undercover gangway that bridges the gap between the terminal and the docked ferries. A car-park with limited spaces can also be found out front. The main shopping centre of Hirtshals is only a 20-minute walk away from the harbour and a selection of shuttle buses outside the terminal whisk passengers to the nearby train station. The sole rail route travels the short distance south to the larger town of Hjørring, one of Denmark’s oldest boroughs. The E39 motorway skirting the edge of town is another of the major routes to and from the port; the road stretching away from the heart of the harbour to the sprawling riverside city of Aalborg under an hours’ drive south. A number of ferry lines operate from Hirtshals throughout the week. Services hosted by Fjord Line sail northwards to various locations across Norway, including the towns of Bergen, Stavanger, Langesund and Kristiansand, the latter also serviced by a Color Line service. Color Lines also make the short trip to the Norwegian port of Larvik, while longer-haul trips across the North Sea are offered by Smyril Lines who travel to Seydisfjordur in Iceland and Torshavn in the Faroe Islands.
