Blomøyknuten, 74m

Introduction

Blomøyknuten is the highest point in Øygarden kommune. It's not a hike. It's not even a long walk. It's where kids play. But the knob provides an excellent view the sea and the mainland. A drive up the island of Sotra is worth the while anyway. And since you're already there...
