The local hiking trail is about 6-7 km. It goes through a varied terrain like forest, fields and peat-bogs. Up on the highest point is a fantastic view over the skerries in Helgeland. You can see the majestic mountains ″Vega″, ″Dønnamannen″ and the ″Syv Søstre″. There are marked trails all the way up to the top of the mountains.
The mountains are, from north to south:
Botnkrona (1072 metres above sea level.), Grytfoten (1019), Skjæringen (1037), Tvillingene (the Twins, 945 and 980), Kvasstinden (1010) and Breitinden / Stortinden (910).
Thor Bergesen in Sandnessjøen has taken the photo and made suggestion where to go.
Sandnessjøen Tourist Association has marked trails to each of the summits so that you can go safely from top to top on your own. There are books on each summit where you can sign your name. If you climb all the peaks you are eligible for a special diploma as proof of your achievement. Registration cards and maps of the trails are available at Sandnessjøen tourist information centre.
