Day 10
 |
Svolvaergeita (=the Svolvaer goat) is the natural
goal of any climber going to Lofoten. First climbed in 1910, climbers
on the goat are now probably as exciting as fishes in the sea to the
locals. For visitors however, it is a very fun and exposed climb - a
must do.
The goat is seen from all over the town. It is about 150 m up the the actual pinnacle, which in turn is another 150 m high. |

If you ever dare to make it, you'll have a wonderful sight of Svolvær below.
However, don't try to jump if you are not used to that kind of sport.....

(Not valid as per Sept .2010)
Hadsel bridge, Stokmarknes. 1.011 m long.
Between Hadseløya and Langøya in Vesterålen.
A few kilometers North of Sortland City, we came over to Andøya.
This is a 50 km long narrow island, going just about North-South, with a hill/mountainrange in the middle.
On both sides, there are quite a bit of flat land between the mountains and the sea,
and on top the island, there are several white sandy beaches.
Just north of Bleik on Andøya we find a place beside the road for the night.
On the other side of the road, down the sanddunes, you have a very, very, very long white sand-beach,
but someone doesn't like cars to drive down that way.....
Think about this a warm and quiet summerday!
