The walk
The walk starts at the car park at Gramstad, by the trekking association's lodge, Gramstadtunet. Paths lead west below Øvre Eikenuten and then north up open, rocky ground to the cairn on Dalsnuten, 323 m. The view takes in Stavanger, the Gandsfjorden and, on a clear day, the islands of Ryfylke. The way back drops east past the small lake of Revholstjørn and follows a broad path between old stone walls, once used to drive livestock, beside Gramstadtjørna to the start.
It is 4.1 km round with 202 m of ascent; allow about 1½ hours. The grade is Easy: good paths, with one steep, rocky pull to the top.
The last climb to the summit is steep and slippery in the wet. DNT Stavanger og omegn gives the walk as open all year. Region Stavanger says the broad path as far as Revholstjørn suits prams and wheelchairs, so families can make a shorter outing of it and leave the summit for another day.
Parking at Gramstad is free. The car park is on Fjogstadveien, about ten minutes by car from the centre of Sandnes and a little further from Stavanger.
