Rispingen (742 m above sea level) via Olsnessåta on Osterøy

Dette er en flott tur på Osterøy med panoramautsikt over Sørfjorden.  Dette fjellet er Osterøy sitt 3. høyeste fjell.

This walk goes from Båtaleitet (the parking lot) to Olsnessåta and from there on to Rispingen. If you go directly from Båtaleitet to Rispingen, the walk is somewhat shorter (approx. 11 km. round trip.).

From the parking lot, follow the road you came from driving for about 200m. Here there is a sign for Olsnessåta (left side). Follow the path all the way to the top. Some steep sections but manageable for most people.

Once you have reached the top, follow the path north with Sørfjorden on your right. The path is marked with sticks and small cairns. It can be a bit unclear in some places so follow along. The terrain is easy to walk on. You will eventually see a lonely cairn in the Distance , this is Olsnesnipa (653 m.). Follow the marked path further. Eventually you will also see a deep gorge in the mountain that runs alongside the path for a short Distance . Watch out for this one.

After a while, the path will head northwest before continuing north again towards Rispingen. Follow the marked path via the viewpoint at Raudskredvarden. Here there is a nice view towards Stanghelle. After this, the path heads northwest. The top of Rispingen is located a short Distance into the mountain plateau.

At the top you get a view of Høgafjellet to the north.

Have a good trip!
