The trail starts in the forest, where you can find a lot of blueberries (in july/august). It's a steep start but the path is very visible until the first lake. Once you get to the lake you're on a rocky path until you reach the top (follow marks or make your own path). Last part can be vertiginous if you are scared of heights. At the top you can enjoy the amazing view of Brennvika (see the picture).
