Circular starting from Haukland, going around the Mannen and Veggen peaks via the old Uttakliev road, then returning via the Lomtjønna Pass above the tunnel. Pleasant trail along the coast connecting one beach to another.

An easy route that winds through peat bogs and crosses numerous lakes. Its final destination, Kringbotnsvatnet, is a fairly large lake at an altitude of 250 metres. Along the way, the view stretches far into the distance over the sea and the mountains of the Lofoten Islands.

⚑Departure from Norway
A slightly demanding circular walk starting from Ballstad. The first part is along the water's edge on a stony path that winds its way up and down between the rocks, then there is a climb of over 200 m at a 15° gradient to reach the plateau and finally a descent via a staircase of 384 slabs, built by Nepalese sherpas. But what views of the surrounding islands from the coastal path and especially from the summit plateau!

⚑Departure from Norway
This hike offers magnificent views of the Lofoten Islands on a clear day. If you are not sure of your footing, be careful, as some sections are on scree and the descent is a little slippery.
