About the Hesten hike
Varden er en rimelig enkel fjelltur på sørsiden av Lofoten midt mellom Svolvær og Leknes som passer for de fleste. På veien opp så vil man passere fine innsjøer som kan være fristende å hoppe uti i på en varm dag. Utsikten fra toppen vil primært være utover Vestfjorden, Henningsvær og fjellene rundt. Denne turen har i de siste årene blitt mer og mer populær.
