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 .

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! :-)

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! :-)
