Go up through the valley to a small brick house, and to the right onto a path leading up the hillside. Go to the next intersection where you take the path straight ahead to Fjellstova. On your way back you take the same path, but at the first intersection, make a left towards Haugelandskvedno mill. There are some European yews on the hillside here.
