A trip to Hesten, otherwise known as "The Horse", is a great family-friendly trip due to its accessibility to Vågsvåg. It is a nice 330-metre-high summit that offers a great view of Einevarden and the village of Kvalheim. If you look eastwards, you can also see Vågsøy's highest mountain, Veten, which stands at 613 metres. It is a lovely summit, and it is marked by a beautiful stone cairn.
