Route description

From the ferry on Hollingsholmen, follow the signs to Nyhamna. When you reach the Ormen Lange facility, park across from the Shell administration building. Keep the building on your right, as you walk by, until you reach an information board and a gravel road. Follow the tractor road to some picnic tables and benches, and then continue the path to Ørnehaugen. The walk takes approximately 1 hour. There are also several interesting information boards on the way up that are worth your time to read.

Optional side-trip to the Aukrabolten rock

If you want to add a little extra to your walk, you can visit Aukrabolten. Just before the last hill up to Ørnehaugen, turn right. Be aware that the path is not signposted very clearly, and the terrain surrounding the rock is a bit rough. Keep straight and stay to the left until you see Aukrabolten, wedged in a gorge down by the sea.
