Siggjo

Siggjo is a summit on Bømlo island reaching 474 meters, with two equally high rock points that offer views across western Norwegian landscapes. The ascent includes steep sections where wooden bridges and handrails assist hikers on their way up.

This summit served maritime travelers along the Norwegian coast as a reliable navigation landmark over many generations. The formation became embedded in seafarers' knowledge as they journeyed through surrounding waters.

The trails up Siggjo connect hikers with the rhythms of the local community, where routes have been walked for generations. People gather here for personal moments and seasonal occasions throughout the year.

Two separate trails reach the summit, each offering different route experiences depending on where you start. Plan your hike with plenty of daylight since the final stretches climb steeply to reach the top.

On clear days you can see the Folgefonna glaciers and the Kvaerner Shipyard spread across the water below, along with numerous islands dotting Norwegian waters. This view connects the mountain to both the glacier systems and industrial heritage visible from above.
