Follow the gravel road for about 100 meters and turn left on the trail into the dense forest. There is an old carriage with fairly steep climb up the Blåsopp farm.
On top of the hill turn right through the farm and follows wide gravel road further up. At the end of the road you find signs and maps of the military history of Hjelmkollen, and if you have a flashlight, you can walk through the bunker up to the top to the viewpoint. From the top you see Norway's tallest building, The Naxan tower, entrance to Halden city and the fortress. In the opposite direction, you get a panoramic view of old and new Svinesundsbro and expiration of Iddefjorden against Hvaler. The tour is suitable for children, bring a flashlight to the bunker. There are benches and tables so you can enjoy both the view and a meal at the top.
