View of Svolvær

Highlight • Viewpoint

Expect astonishing views as you climb the Djeveltrappa on your way to the Djevelporten. From the impressive rock formations close at hand to the classic Lofoten views of sea and jagged cliffs, what's not to love?

Djevelporten (Devil's Gate) Stone Bridge

Highlight • Natural Monument

The view is worth it. The difficult sections have now been supplemented by steps, which are being expanded further. There is a small rest area at Djevelporten itself and the rock bridge is easy to reach.

September 24, 2022,Wanderung zu Djevelporten und auf den Fløya

The summit of Fløya was very difficult to reach and because it was raining, it was also very slippery. But since according to the map there is an "easier" descent, we climbed up. The view was of course obscured by clouds... 🤥
