Starting point
Hoven is located on the northern side of Gimsøya, a small island between Vestvågoya to the west and Austvågøya to the east. You can park at the Lofoten Golf course. You will see a small unpaved parking area immediately west of the buildings.
The Trail
From the parking area, walk south towards the maintenance building for the golf course (looks like a small airplane hangar). Walk to the backside of the building and you will see the trail immediately behind it. [The gravel road continues on past the building, and you can take this, but it will make picking up the trail again a little more difficult.]
Leaving the road, the trail first wanders through flat, boggy ground for several hundred meters before it begins to rise. By now any wandering paths should have merged into one and you follow the clear route heading west up the mountain. There are a few small rocky steps, which can be demanding, here and there. For the most part the trail is dry by Lofoten standards. After 45 minutes – 1 hour you should be enjoying the view at the top.
If visibility is poor, be mindful of the sheer cliffs to the west of the summit.
On the summit is a large container with several logbooks. This is NOT the cache.
