There are many awe-inspiring viewpoints on the trails around the Ballstadheia plateau. This traverse above Ballstad is a great vantage for gazing down at the village. Meanwhile, the view down the barrell of the Buksnesfjord towards Leknes is glorious.

Short but definitely doable climb. The view is absolutely worth it.
