Oksen

Date:
19.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
10.2km

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! :-)

Skattørfjellet

27.06.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.3km

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! :-)

Hillwalk
Duration:

Hananipa from Skulestad (and back via Trollabotshaugen) was a nice round tour in beautiful landscape and with fantastic views over the fjord!

Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends this hike up and down Hananipa (only part of our hike, though).
