Information:

How to get there:
Drive E-39 north from Bergen. Continue north and through the long Eikefet tunnel. After this tunnel, then 6 more short tunnels. Look for a small, nice parking area on your right hand side about 1.4 kilometer after the last tunnel. This is the trailhead, location N60.73155, E005.63339, elevation about 15 meter.
Route description:
Walk back (south, towards Bergen) about 50 meter, then look for trail markers leading up towards the ridge that is running down to the highway. The trail is nice and well marked all the way to the summit.
Comments:
I left my car about 1140, crossed the road and entered a small turnoff on the opposite side. This led me to a small trail that ran up the small, distinct valley that connects to Austredalen. I climbed steeply left and found the proper trail, then followed it to the summit. The summit has an antenna and a small building very close nearby. I was there at 1225, so 45 minutes. I had a small 10 minute break before I continued to my next goal, Snøyo.
