Rambjøra, Herøy

Rambjøra is the easternmost peak on the island of Gurskøya. It is a popular hiking destination for many locals, and the trails from Myrvåg and Dragsund are widely used. Rambjøra, which is only 132 metres high, is the lowest of the 18 mountain peaks in Herøy Municipality and of the 12 peaks on the island of Gurskøya with a primary factor of 100 m or more. Despite its modest height, Rambjøra offers a scenic view. The mountain is easily accessible for the majority of people, and the paths are easy to walk on. Since the area does not have a barren landscape, the birch forest can give shelter from the wind.

There are 3 main routes to the top of Rambjøra: from Myrvågtoppen, from Møre School, and from Dragsundflata. The map shows a circular trail from Møre School with a return route via Dragsundflata. All routes are marked with both signs and sticks, as well as with reflectors further along the trail. You will find the trail postbox at the peak. Route 1: Myrvågtoppen – Rambjøra (1 km) The trail starts in the residential area and follows a well-defined path through an area of heathland and scrub before you meet the southwestern ridge of Rambjøra. You will meet the path from Møre School. Continue walking along the ridge until you reach the top. Parts of the trail can be quite wet after rain. Route 2: Møre School – Rambjøra (1 km) The trail starts above Møre School. After about 250 metres, you will meet the path from Myrvågtoppen. Please see Route 1. Route 3: Dragsundflata – Rambjøra (1.2 km) The trail starts at the top of the residential site in Dragsund. Walk northeast along the path over a marshy area until you enter a dense forest southeast of the peak. Continue walking through the forest until you reach a junction in the path. Keep to the left. The path to the right is not marked and runs down to Øvre Dragsund. Follow the path as it later turns west and continue along the western ridge until you reach the mountaintop.
