(3) At the junction, head straight ahead, south-east.

(4) At the junction, turn slightly left. Walk alongside a spruce forest.

(5) At the three-way junction, take the path on the left which climbs and then descends to a memorial stone at the foot of Azkar.

You will see the single path leading to the summit ahead of you. The round trip takes 20 minutes.
