Røyrafjellet is found on the south side of Dimna island, located just southwest of Ulsteinvik. Although being a low, and fairly modest coastal top, the views are GOOD. A short, visible path runs to the top, which is (probably) regularly visited by people living on Dimna island. Or Dimnøya as the locals say.
Røyrafjellet (Norge 1:50,000: 123m, Økonomisk Kartverk: 123,13m, UTM 32 V 333290 6911720) has a primary factor of 100m, towards the higher parent Høgåsen (240m). The saddle is found in a road junction west of Ertesvågen. Ref. Økonomisk Kartverk (5m contours), the saddle is within the range 20-25m, interpolated to 23m.

Turn right towards "Dimna", drive 1,4Km to the "Ertesvåg/Ytre Dimna" junction, and turn left towards Ertesvåg. Drive -approx.- 2,5Km and turn left in a junction. Follow this road 200m and locate the "Røyrafjellet" trailsign to your right. You find parking on the left-hand side of the road.
The route
This is a very straightforward route. Follow the path up to point 121m (not marked on Norge 1:50,000), descend slightly and head up to the 123m high point. Descend your ascent route.
Mailboxes - which may contain logbooks - are found on both high points.
