    Hiking

    If you are on the coastal path, you should definitely make a detour here.

    First we took the Isprins ferry across the Hollandsfjord. From the pier to the “Engabreen” tongue of the second largest Norwegian glacier, Svartisen, it's a relaxed 90 minutes. The panorama is breathtaking throughout. There are a few insurance policies on the mountain itself. Surefootedness and good footwear are essential.

    Hiking

    The landscape of the hike is very impressive: across the colorful glacier cut, along the raging glacier river. The first part to the refuge is well marked.
    If you want to get even closer to the glacier, you should bring time and orientation with you: it continues unmarked over boulder. Stone men show the way.

    Hiking

    The Svartisen ("black ice") is the second largest glacier in Norway at 370 square kilometers and is located in Nordland Fylke, just below the Arctic Circle, in the impressive Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park northwest of the town of Mo i Rana. It has a total of 60 glacier arms. The Glomtal lies between the two main glaciers, the East (Østertaleis) and the West Ice. The Svartisen extends almost all the way down into the Holandsfjord, making it the glacier closest to sea level in Europe.
