Departure from Norway
A slightly demanding circular walk starting from Ballstad. The first part is along the water's edge on a stony path that winds its way up and down between the rocks, then there is a climb of over 200 m at a 15° gradient to reach the plateau and finally a descent via a staircase of 384 slabs, built by Nepalese sherpas. But what views of the surrounding islands from the coastal path and especially from the summit plateau!
