About The hike

The Heilhornet hike is a climb on a mountain that is the result of the continental collision between Baltica (now Europe) and Laurentia (now North America and Greenland). For more than 400 million years ago. During the collision, magma rose from the earth’s interior and solidified as large masses of granite below the earth’s surface. Erosion and movements in the earth’s crust then brought the granite to the surface. Such large amounts of mantle rocks that push up through the earth’s crust are called batholiths. The Bindals batholith is the largest Caledonian batholith in Norway.

This tour goes from Bindalseidet, via Gundagamma and Hornvatnet to the top of Heilhornet. Just before the top, it is a bit rough. In the steepest part of the egg there is a chain to hold on to if necessary. At the top you can enjoy the view over Helgeland, Trøndelag and towards Sweden.
Vær oppmerksom på at selv om kartene er basert på ekte GPS-track så er de hovedsakelig ment for å gi startpunkt og cirka-retning for turen, og ikke for nøyaktig posisjonering. Nøyaktigheten på kart og GPS kan også varier litt.
Man er alltid selv ansvarlig for å gjøre egne vurderinger når man er på tur i fjellene ut ifra forholdene.

Det er også viktig å være godt nok skodd for forholdene, i tillegg til at man tar med seg nok vann og en snack. test
