Hiking to the top of the mount Tverrbotshornet along with my son Dag. We drove to Søvika in Haram municipality, and parked at a parking lot in the valley called Søvikdalen. It's the same parking lot we've been using when visiting Mount Gamlemsveten. The first 1.5 km is the same as when you ascend Gamlemsveten, but then we took off to the right from the Road that climbs Gamlemsveten, crossed a marsh; and then started climbing up along a mountain ridge that leads up to the summit of the mountain. The ridge is quite stony, but otherwise not difficult to climb. The elevation of this mountain is 752 meters above main sea level, and we soon reached the summit. From there we continued about 400 meters in a north east direction, and then made our descent from the mountain in a north west direction down to the watershed area between the valleys Søvikdalen and Hildredalen. From there we continued south west along the marsh that we had crossed when climbing the mountain; next encountered the road that leads to the summit of Mount Gamlemsveten, and followed that road back to the parking lot.
