Description:
From the upper parking by Ådneram, follow the path going down towards the mountain lifts. In the first crossing of paths, take to your right, following the path up the south side of the small lake with the water jump. By the end of the small lake, you will see three paths converging. Follow the middle path up the hill. When arriving on the top, take to your right and follow the path to the end of the ski lifts. You have to estimate at least 25 minutes for this. Turn under the ski lifts and continue on the small path towards the north-east. You should keep to the right foot of the mountain and after some distance you should arrive at a small bog, from where you can take to the right, down a small hillside, before you once more walk up the foot of the mountains, firsty through a small area of birch woods and then straight across a small valley.

After around 15 minutes of walking you should be circling the mountain and continue northwards, first up a small hill, from where you will see Rubedalstjødna on your left hand and the Hassteinstjødn in the distance on your right hand side. Walk down the hill and cross the valley before climbing up the steep hillside towards the north-west. When the path become less clear in the terrain you should continue up the mountain. Keep going, keeping to your left, following the cairns towards a small pond. Estimate around 25 minutes up the hill. By the pond, take to your west, and you will cross a creek running from the pond and you should pass another small pond. Here, you should cross the creeks that go from the east to the west. Hadvardshei will now be to your immediate left and you should take the easiest path to the top, where you can enjoy 360 degree vista over Sirdal.
