Hilstadfjellet (401 m.)

Popularly this mountain is called "Hilstadfjellet", while on the map it is defined as Hilstadfjellet at 287 meter above sea level, and "Brattåsfjellet". Therefore the highest peak at Hilstadfjellet is Brattåsfjellet, with its 401 meters.

Hilstadfjellet has previously been a part of "Fjelltrimmen", (a local hiking event that consists of 10 mountains with marked trails) The marked trail starts in the ski resort in "Klokkaråsen", just above Hilstad school. The first part of the trail is fairly steep.

This part goes along a path in the woods and the view here is not the best, but when you come to the cabin however, the view is completely unbelievable. You gaze out to the fjords Velfjord, Ursfjorden and to Sømna. The cabin is for public use, and a great place to take a little break.

About Hilstadfjellet
The mountain Hilstadfjellet is an old skiing- and hiking destination in Hommelstø. In the 1960's a cabin was built here. There was a lot of forestry going on, and large areas were cut out and thus excellent for downhill racing. Especially in the winter there were many skiers and hikers up this small mountain, and for a time there were coffee sales here on Sundays.

From the summit you have a wonderful view, and you can also see parts of the famous lake Engavatnet, where both the lake and the fish disappears from time to time.
