Hike description
From the parking area at Kleivhalsen, cross the Coastal Route and walk across the rocky outcrops toward the power lines. There is no marked trail, but you’ll find a visible path that leads up through the forest.
Above the tree line, you’ll pass some concrete foundations and technical installations — these are part of the Norwegian Armed Forces’ antenna and communication system.
