Festvågtind Summit

Highlight • Summit

The summit of the Festvågtind with summit book and cross, which after a long climb with a charming view of the fishing village Henningsvær can pay - if the weather permits.

Heiavatnet

Highlight • Lake

This lake can be super integrated into the descent of Festvagtinden and cool off. Yes, the water is super cold, but who wants warm water after a sweaty hike?

The hiking guide lists the hike as blue/easy. However, I can't confirm that. The trail often had quite rough ups and downs, and at times it was quite slippery, even without being wet.
