Information:

How to get there:
This small hill is the southernmost hill having at least 100 meter of prominence in Hordaland. It is located south in the municipality of Sveio. When exiting the tunnel from Stord, continue south on E-39 for about 25 kilometer. Turn right near location N59.5030, E5.4350. Drive about 1.6 kilometer and find a small area where one may park 1-2 vehicles on the left, location N59.49838, E5.41204. This is a good trailhead.
Route:
Walk directly towards the summit, it is visible from where you start. The first fence may be crossed on the right hand side of a tractor access point, this is immediately next to the road. Just before the final, slightly steeper ascent there is a second fence. Most easily crossed by finding a dry spot and crawl under. There is a fallen trigonometric marker at the summit.
Comments:
This hike took only 10 minutes each way. The local farmer should provide better access by facilitating crossing of his fences. To have barbed wire on top is really nasty and deserves strong critisism.
