Information:

How to get there:
Drive E-39 north from Bergen. Just before entering the long tunnel descending to Masfjorden, exit right, drive under the Hwy, and head down the Haugsdalen valley. When the terrain levels out at about 75 meter of elevation, look for parking on your left. This is at location N60.83253, E005.53135.
Route description:
Walk across the road, a bit left and near a red building located to the left of a small red house. Here, you will locate a tractor road heading uphill. Hike up this tractor road and go left at a fork. Continue uphill (keep right higher up) and arrive at a flat meadow. Here, it is best to immediately climb left and ascend to the small summit.
Comments:
I had already climbed Lauvtonipa, but there was time left for a small bonus peak. leaving at 1500, I arrived at the summit by 1530. Descending after a 5 minute break got me back to my car just before 1600.
