Kongskleivo/Kongskleiva is the name of the sherpa staircases up to Kongsfjellet (185 meters above sea level) in Bekkjarvik, Austevoll. The stone staircases wind their way all the way up the terrain to Kongsfjellet. The staircase itself is 972 meters long and takes you up 128 meters in elevation. It also has a detour out to a viewpoint on the way up at Taushaugen.

At the top there are several burial cairns from the Bronze Age.

The round trip is about 3.5 km and 160 meters of elevation gain.
