How to get there:
Drive to Seim, located about 7 kilometer north of Knarvik. From Seim, drive north-west along the fjord (on its south side) about 4 kilometer, then take a left turn on the road that connects across south (Radsundet) and provides an alternative road back to Knarvik. Just before this road crosses the crest of the hill, a small, farmers road runs sharply right. One may drive this and find parking near its end, at location N60.63111, E005.20461, elevation about 145 meter. However, it may be better to find parking near the main road in this area (see below).
Route description:
I walked onto the grass (farm field) that crosses through a natural pass, turned left and bush-walked steeply, directly to the summit. This is a very short, but slightly cumbersome approach.
There is a trail along the summit ridge. This trail must connect to the main road near its crest. Such a route is likely both better and more pleasant.
Comments:
I left my car around 1500 and arrived at the summit about 15 minutes later. I took a slightly different route back down, but it was not any better. I would recommend taking the trail that follows the crest of the ridge.
The next peak is Berfjordfjellet.
