The pyramid-shaped peak immediately west of Klaksvík rises 413 metres straight out of the fjord and dominates every view across the town. The hike to the summit is short by Faroese standards — about 90 minutes up, less coming down — but steep, on grass and rock with no real path for the upper half. The reward at the top is one of the great views in the Faroes: Klaksvík directly below, the fjords cutting through the islands on every side, Kalsoy across the sound to the west, and on a clear day Eysturoy and Streymoy visible in the south-west.
The trailhead is a small parking area on the saddle above Klaksvík, reached by a paved road that climbs out of the town's western edge. From there the route is obvious — straight up the south-east ridge. The slope is exposed and the wind can be ferocious; do not attempt in low cloud. Best in clear weather any time from May to early October.
