- The hiking trail from Skagehola is well marked. It goes pretty much straight up, and it is quite steep. But in exposed places, there are steps cut into the rock and the ropes on the side of the path make it pretty safe for a trip even with kids (no stroller :D) Be ready though for about 45 minutes strenuous hike in rocky terrain.
