Route description:
There is a trail information sign at the beginning of the trail. Continue directly
uphil at a very good path. When this path levels out, pay attention and take the trail
that forks right. There is a sign (vertical) saying Brakstadfjellet at the fork.
This trail runs nicely to the summit. The summit has
a cairn and a large antenna serving the
air-traffic to Bergen airport.
Comments:
I started at 1325 and arrived at the top at 1355. It was raining all way.
I was back down at my car (soaked) at 1420.
