Hellandsneset

Date:

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:30h
Distance:
1.4km

We stopped for taking a look at the long closed Nickel mine west of Hamn i Senja. Difficult to imagine that hundreds of miners worked here for an extended period to break out nickel ore from this mine, which extends down to about 40 meteres below sea level (now all filled with water). From the mine, we then made a short walk out to the tip of Hellandsneset, enjoying some nice views (both towards Bergsøyan and also out towards the open North Atlantic). All in all a very short walk -- but still nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends a similar hike .

Starting from Skattøra (right after the bridge to Skjervøya), we first read about some interesting history of Skattøra, before we ascend to Skattørfjellet (no path, partially a bit of climbing and some minor bush war). Fantastic view from the top! :-)
