Information:

How to get there:
This mountain is located on the island Stord. From Bergen, the connection is E-39 south to Halhjem, then ferry (departs every 20 minutes) to Sandvikvåg. Continue south on E-39 until near location N59.8311, E5.5228. This is about 6 kilometer south of Jektavik (the place where a ferry serves Tysnes). Turn right here and follow Fjellgardsvegen. Next, turn right onto Lundssetervegen, then finally Kattnakkevegen. Park at location 59.86121, 5.48889, elevation near 390 meter.
Route:
There are two routes that form a nice round trip walk. You may follow the road (locked gate) all the way up to the antenna tower, then the summit is close nearby. Alternatively, take the trail that forks left from the road about 350 meter from the parking. This trail has been improved with stone stairs until most of the elevation has been gained, next head towards the tower.
Comments:
I did this climb with my friend Kjell. We had just been on Dyviksåta. We started from the nice parking area around 1440 and walked about 40 minutes along the road to the summit. A brief stop there due to cold wind. Next, a longer break for some food when down in a more sheltered area. We were back by the car around 1530. This concluded our day trip on Stord. Takk for turen Kjell!
