How to get there:
A good point of reference is the small community Hosteland, located north
of Masfjorden. To get there from Bergen, drive north on E-39. Just before E-39
enters the 4 km long Eikefet tunnel, there is a choice of route. Forking left onto
Hwy. 570, then connect from Masfjordneset to Duesund by (cable) ferry. This is a scenic
option. Alternatively, continue on E-39 passing the two fingers of Masfjorden, then an
uphill tunnel to the intersection with Hwy. 571. Turn left here, descending on the north
side of Masfjorden to meet Hwy. 570 near Hosteland.
The third, and perhaps best way, is to use the ferry from Leirvåg. Turn left in the
very first traffic circle in Knarvik (immediately after the bridge), follow Hwy. 57 to
Leirvåg. This ferry leaves 15 minutes past the hour. The return ferry leaves
Sløvågen 15 minutes before the hour. The crossing takes 20 minutes. From
Sløvågen, you have 14 kilometer to reach Hosteland.
From Hosteland, take Hwy. 570 about 7 kilometer west to Haugsdal (or arrive here directly from Sløvågen).
Haugsdal is served by a small road going north from from Hwy. 570.
I found parking about 400 meter up the road from Hwy. 570, location 60.85094, 5.15379, elevation about 25 meter.
Route description:
Continue up the farm road running north towards lake Svelivatnet with elevation 120 meter.
Just before you reach this lake, the trail, clearly marked for Kultane, crosses the small
creek and continues all the way to the summit. Comments:
This was my 3rd. peak (of 7) that I climbed on this day. I arrived at the summit
around 0900.
