According to legend, the spectacular hole is the result of a dramatic love story: The troll Hestmannen was trying to win over a beautiful girl named Lekamøya. When he realized he couldn't get her, he shot an arrow at her. The troll king in Sønnafjellet saw this and threw his hat in front of the arrow, so that it shot straight through and the hole was created. At that very moment, the sun rose and turned everyone into stone - and that's how the extraordinary mountain was created!

Hiking

A wonderful view awaits you on the other side of the loch. From here you can look out over the enchanting landscape along the Helgeland coast and some of the picturesque little fishing villages on the island of Torget.
