Stories from Norway, June 30th: The last hike

I went on a last hike in the morning, climbing yet another peak, before having to catch the bus that would take me away from Lofoten. The peak was called Tjeldbergtind and was 367 meters high.

The view of Svolvær, the biggest town on Lofoten, as seen from the top of Tjeldbergtind. The view up there was incredible, with all the mountains, lakes and the ocean, but seriously. This trail was marked as easy, suitable for kids. It was no Reinebringen (which was marked as medium), but still, it was basically straight up and the last part, above the treeline, was scary steep. Norwegians are crazy, and their children must be a mixture of goats and spiders.

On my way down, I ran into this little fellow.

Prestvatnet. A perfect place for singing.
