Grindaflethytta

Date:
23.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
15:00h
Distance:
42.2km

Two days tour from Ljosanbotn (arrival with the train from Bergen) -- first day to Grindflethytta (via a really well marked trail, including three summer bridges); then, next day, first along the marked trail towards Fyre (up to the pass near Stangahøgdi, where the trail starts to descend into Øvsthusdalen), before then following the ridge up to Kaldanuten (no trail along this part) and then down (via Bjørndalsvatnet) into Bjørndalen and out to Brandset. An intense hike, alltogether: about 42km and about 15h out in the beautiful nature. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Oksen

Date:
19.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
9.2km

Beautiful tour up and down Oksen -- in fantastic summer weather! :-) We started from the parking place right above Tjoflot (at about 200m above the fjord) and took the (nice!) path via Vindhovden up to Oksen (we made the top, roughly 1000m above the parking place, after about 100mins.). We then continued to Veten and enjoyed the views and a break there! :-) Then back to Tjoflot, more or less the same path. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Hike
Duration:

Someone (Leif Algerøy?) has put really a lot of effort into preparing nice hiking choices on Algrøyna -- wow! :-) The tour to Sandeie is really worth the lengthy approach (driving to Algrøyna)! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Nice summer hike around Fedje. The historic site (in the northwest of Fedje) is also quite interesting -- telling from hard times, not too long ago... Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Taking the fast ferry from Hammerfest (check the schedule as this ferry is not going equally every day!) to Akkarfjord and hiking from there -- great experience! :-)

Evening excursion from Hammerfest

Date:
01.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.4km

After arriving in Hammerfest quite late this day, I only made a quick and medium-short hike in the hills nearby the city. It was interesting to see, how Hammerfest struggles with all the reindeer around (having built a major fence, not at the least, for example). And, yes, you meet many of them just a "few steps" away from the city... Note: I found it interesting that I could not find out, whether the tops, which I visited, have any names (and if so, which ones) -- if anyone knows, then please let me know! :-)
