Information:

How to get there:
Drive E-16 from Bergen. Continue E-16 past Trengereid towards Voss. After Dale, turn left on Hwy. 569 to Romarheim. Drive this narrow road to Straume where you cross the fjord on a bridge. Very shortly after this bridge, turn right on a small road. Continue straight when pavement ends, then turn left. There is parking right away on your left hand side. This is a good trailhead, location N60.65506, E005.81060, elevation 55 meter.
Route description:
Continue along the farm road that you just turned onto before parking. It heads uphill and will arrive at a col. At this col a trail forks left. There is also a sign saying Storanipo. The trail is marked with blue paint. Follow it to the summit. The highest point is located just before the trail ends at the viewpoint.
Comments:
I started at 1125 and arrived at the summit at 1210. The summit has a very good view down to the fjord, but also inland to Hesjedalsnovene. There is also a summit register as well as benches to sit on.
I left at 1220 and returned to my car in 40 minutes, at 1300. This is a nice and easy hike to a good viewpoint.
