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.

Be aware that although the maps are based on GPS tracks, the intention is still just to provide the starting point and approximate direction of the trip, and do not take into account exact positioning. The accuracy of maps and GPS can also vary slightly.
You are always responsible for making your own assements when hiking in the mountains.

It is also important to be well-suited for the weather conditions, in addition to bringing enough water and a snack to keep the energy level stable.
