Bukkaberget
Given that Bukkaberget was not very easily accessible via public transport, I decided to instead use my bicycle. This made for a rather long transportation stage before the hiking could begin, but also resulted in a very nice cycling trip that is recorded in a separate report: Cycling: Bukkaberget.
Arriving on bike made it easier to look for alternative trailheads, as none of the reports I'd seen so far indicated a trail to the summit, although several mentioned coming across a trail at the summit area. After rejecting the first trail-like options, I came across what looked like a very promising starting point: an old tractor road heading towards Tveitavatnet just north of the Bukkaberget (also indicated on the map).
After finding a place to leave my bike, I started up the trail which shortly split: east towards Tveitavatnet or southeast in the direction of the summit. I chose the latter, and found myself on a very nice trail that could easily be followed all the way to the summit.
The summit, and in fact the whole hike, provided very limited views due to all the trees. Did not stay long before continuing southeast along the trail. I was now split between having to return to pick up my bike and wanting to know where the trail ended. In the end my curiosity won, and I followed the nice trail all the way to its southern endpoint where it connected with Høylandsvegen just south of Myrketjørna. From there I walked back along the road to pick up my bike.
Overall a much nicer hike than expected along a good trail that allows you to make the hike into a short roundtrip. The limited views, except for the walk along the road, however probably means that this is the kind of peak that most people will only visit once.
