Reinebringen
Parking: the Reinehalsen viewpoint, which was limited to 4-hour parking in the past, has not been closed off. The most common parking area is Ytre Havn (Inner Harbour), 40 NOK/Hour. You can also pay with EasyPark. Another paid option is the Reine Kultursenter, before the gas station. It costs 150 NOK per day, pay inside. Lastly, there is also a free parking option further south (after the tunnel) on the Djup Fjord, right after the Djupfjodbrua.
Djup Fjord parking lot – Located 1.3km (0.8 mi) south of the trailhead along the E10 road, close to Djup Fjord bridge. In Google Maps, this place is called ‘Steffenakken’. Parking is free of charge. We parked here.

We also sighted Orca pod from this parking lot.

From the parking lot we walked along E10 until we reached Ramsvik Tunnelen. The start of the hike is on the top of tunnel.
Difficulty: easy, but this is still a leg-burner; the stairway is on a steep gradient. However, there are few stone benches here and there you can sit on to catch your breath if you need to.
There are a total of 1978 steps on the stairs that lead up to Reinebringen. Most of them are rather wide and not too high, so you should not have any problems getting a good foothold in between steps.
The last bit has not been “staircased” and it’s likely to be in bad conditions although not very steep or difficult to get across.
Keep in mind the top of Reinebringen has cliffs on each side. Carefulness is required, especially when approaching the cliffs. It gets very crowded at the summit.
