Route:
Start hiking at the radio tower and walk towards the meadow. Continue in the direction of some birches at the edge of the woods. Walk around a point of rocks that enters the meadow and hike straight to the highpoint in the woods. A fallen down tree house is close to the summit and a triangle marker shows where the highpoint is. There is a pipe with a note that locates the marker.
