Wanderung zum Felsentor Kirkeporten
Tour / hiking / bike / ski / Hiking
Skarsvåg on Magerøya, the world´s northernmost fishing village, has several parking options within the village but only a few at the Turisthotell at the entrance to the village. But this is exactly where two hiking trails start in the mountains behind Skarsvåg on the other side of the mountain range. The rock formations that prevail there leave the impression that cooling lava formed this rock only yesterday. But the most impressive thing is the huge rock gate called Kirkeporten, which is several meters wide and high. From there, the view sweeps to the opposite side of the bay, to the North Cape rock with the distinctive North Cape Horn. Between the end of May and the end of July you can let the midnight sun shine on you right through this gate. One path leads steeply and partly with steps directly over the approximately 90 meter high mountain range. The other leads west around the mountain, is not quite as steep - but a little longer. Both paths are also suitable for children and can be combined to form a nearly two-kilometer loop.
