There is a great all-round view from the summit. A gravel road leads up from the east side. But the climb over the path from the west is more exciting. A thick rope helps with climbing on a steep section over rock.

A shelter with a large table, fireplace, swings, slacklines and "toilet". The ascent corresponds to Norwegian conditions and is therefore demanding for us "southerners".
