1. Stetind Mountain

5.0 based on 5 reviews
Stetind – Norway’s national mountain Stetind in Tysfjord is a majestic natural landmark with its extremely characteristic shape in the beautiful North Norwegian fjord landscape. With a height of 1392 m directly from the fjord, Norway’s national mountain, also called “God’s anvil”, juts out like an obelisk in the mountain wilds. You may go on family-friendly walks to spots in the “lower” parts of the mountain – or complete the lofty ascent accompanied by a local guide. Stetind also offers “stern pleasures” for experienced mountain climbers.

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.
