We raced the setting sun to see this beach...it was amazing. 50+ mile/hour winds and insanely beautiful landscape. If you're in the area and want an amazing view it's worth the stop - even in the dead of Winter!

Hiking on the hills

Reviewed By 984bjarnep - Trondheim, Norway

Lofoten; one of the World's wonders. The remaining ridge from the split between The Americas and Europe. Lofoten's nature, environment and atmosphere is a must for "The bucket list".

Offersoykammen Hiking Trail

Reviewed By Kalleus - Finland, null

We were looking for a quick day hike and stumbled across this trail. The ascension was a relatively easy and fast, but very rewarding with the view it offers. We visited during very busy season, but the trail had a lot less hikers than the staircase at Reinebringen for example. Even for an average joe, a round trip should take 2 hours at max. You get a nice view of the surrounding areas including Haukland beach and Leknes city. I'd say that it's one of the best views that you can reach with relative ease. Summer sunset views with the sun setting behind Haukland/Uttakleiv beach should be magical.
