Besides some minor boat works it became another bike-hike-bike day to further explore the island. I passed Skarvollsanden Badestrand on my way to the hiking starting point. The beach was already packed under 67°N perspective and the scarce amount of sand of which the name is derived from. The kids had big fun.

Nordlandsnupen is with its 450m altitude the highest mountain on Værøy and offers some more spectacular views.

I parked the bike at the start of the 🚶‍♂️ track very close to the old local Sheriff‘s home from 1790 and felt this will be another good omen for the bike to be secure. Still locked it for the insurance.

The trail was moderate with only a few stretches at which climbing took over from hiking. These areas were supported by robes or chains to provide extra measure for keeping the balance. Overall a nice hike with  a birdview over Moskstraumen, one of the strongest tidal streams on the planet between Mosken Island and mainland Lofoten (Moskenesøya). Also famous and well known among anglers.

Overall a lovely walk and Brotzeit.

Fair winds…
