Description

Signalen is the highest point on the island Valderøya, and is an extremely popular target for the locals when exercising.
The summit area consists of three small tops and a large antenna (fortunately not located at any of the tops). The northern top has a large cairn and a registration book, and the central top has a smaller cairn with a direction dial at the top. However, the highest point is the southern most of the three tops, but is no cairns nor any paths leading to it. The claim that this top actually is the highest is supported both by the 1:5000 map and personal GPS readings.
