Tips

December 4, 2016

Hiking

Hoven is reached relatively quickly. It was quite muddy where we were because it had rained a lot. Danger of slipping! But it's not too difficult. The view from the top (in our case at midnight) was great despite the fog.

Hiking

Ideally cut to observe the midnight sun, Hoven is a popular and accessible summit, from the top of its 367 m. Isolated and thus taking on a majestic character, this large "mound" dominates Gimsøya, the smallest island of the Lofoten.

Hiking

After the tour on the Hoven, we went to the restaurant "Låven" at Hof Gård for a fantastic dinner with a great view through the floor-to-ceiling window.
