In my visits to Bodø I always run up to Keiservarden. Excellent view of city and nature around. Can choose to access by gravel or forrest/sherpa Trail. Easy access to further mountaina from here. Highly recommended.

Ride a car or ask a bus driver to let you off at the starting point. Follow the trail and the signs. One safe but semi-steep segment in the forest after about 1/3 of the way, with ropes you can support yourself on. Slightly steep towards the top, but still safe. Popular low-to-medium effort hike.

4.5 based on 97 reviews
“You have to have been there to understand,” sings the local troubadour, Terje Nilsen, describing Mjelle in a song. In the summer, many excursions end at Mjelle, both weekends and weekdays. You don’t have to be a child to collect shells or build sand castles, or to enjoy a good ball game. Bring firewood and cooking equipment if you want to barbecue.

The landscape views are breathtaking. Lots of paved and graveled trails, benches, even dog poo bags are provided. Bodø is a good place for low threshold hiking.
