Ulstein

The trail at a glance

The trail to the northern side of Osberget Hill is an easily accessible route that offers a great view. A forest near the trail destination is a wonderful place for children to play.

Route description

The trail starts from Bugarden above the centre of Ulsteinvik. You can park your car on either the lower or the upper side of the outdoor fitness facility, Tufteparken Ulstein and walk along the gravel road all the way to Bugardsmyra. Walk up to the right just before the “gapahuk” shelter and continue straight ahead along the gravel road until you see Mørdarbakken Hill on your right. Turn left and follow the path towards the northern side of Osberget Hill. There are several routes and view points in this area, but you need to keep to the right. The path is partly wet, and some sections of it are laid out with planks of wood. You will find the trail postbox at the view point facing north towards Skeide and the coastline. You can choose to follow the same way back or keep following the path around Osberget. In that case, you will come across several great view points with a view of Osneset and the centre. If you choose to follow the path and keep to the right, you will end up on a path that goes past Tufteparken Ulstein which you can then follow back to Bugardsmyra and the starting point.
