Siggjo 474m asl
Siggjo, mountain measuring less than 500 meters above sea level is located on the island of Bømlo in the western part of Norway, between of cities of Haugesund and Bergen. As it is the highest peak in the area (the nearest higher mountains are on the neighboring island of Stord), provides sensational views practically in all directions. Strategic location Siggjo was used to place on the top the antenna mast. To get to the top, you can use one of two routes. One leads from the road 542 on the east side of the mountain, the other leads from the west, from the village Sletta. To the Bømlo you can get with the E39 road and two bridges.
I took the western route. On the map you can see that much of it runs in a straight line and runs along the stream. This is the truth. The path is well maintained and mostly runs along the stones, which is a big advantage, when the weather is rainy and the ground soaked with water. Though of heavy rains recently I was able to go the whole route with dry shoes. The greater part of the road leads through the woods, but just under the top comes out into the open area and you can admire the views.
I came just in strong and cold wind, so I could not fully enjoy the moments spent at the top, but I was able to do some interesting pictures. The road uphill took me an hour. The same route down takes roughly the same time, due to increased caution when descending on wet and slippery rocks.
