About the Reinebringen hike
The Reinebringen hike is a short, but quite steep hike. In recent years it has been built stairs made of rocks by Sherpa up to 400 meters, which amounts to 900 meters long and 1566 steps. The last part lacks stairs, and because the trail has been heavily trodden, as well as a steep terrain, several hikers has found this mountain a bit risky and uncomfortable. In any case, Reinebringen hike offers a very nice view of the mountain range, fjords and of course the fishing village Reine. In the summer, it can be difficult to find a good parking space, and there are often cars parked along the road where the trail starts. Although the trip up to Reinebringen is a relatively short trip, it is steep and requires relative strong legs, endurance and balance. In other words, this is a hike better suited for those who are usually a little active. If it’s extremely crowded, you may want to consider other mountains nearby, such as Munkan / Munkebu DNT tourist cabin, which is a longer hike, but at least as nice.
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.
