A hiking trail leads from here to Kirkeporten, a striking rock formation in the form of a rock portal. The view of the spectacular North Cape falls through the portal in a north-westerly direction. The black slate rocks rise almost 300 meters steeply out of the wave-swept Arctic Ocean.

Hiking

This extraordinary rock is a geological peculiarity. A rocky outcrop several meters wide in steps with a round opening on the side. The midnight sun can also be seen through it, if you are there at the right time of year.
