Hike to Brufjellhålene

Brufjell rises directly above the open sea, with wide coastal views and rare wave-cut potholes formed before the land rose after the last ice age. The descent to the caves is exposed, extremely steep and fitted with unsheltered iron steps; only attempt it on dry, snow-free rock. The published route is 6.3 km circuit, with 291 m of ascent; allow about 3 hr. It is graded very demanding and the recommended season is april–october. Use the public parking area at Roligheten; the marked trail begins beyond the turning area.
