The path to the northernmost point of the European mainland is not easy to walk but not impossible, and a very exciting adventure through the stone desert of Nordkinn.

It goes to the northern tip of continental Europe located in the Arctic: Kapp Nordkinn, the northernmost point on the Kinnarodden peninsula, which is part of the Nordkinn Peninsula. Here you will definitely be alone and can enjoy breathtaking views of the Barents Sea. The route is an extraordinary experience, but extremely weather-dependent.

Because the North Cape is for everyone, the rock with the iron globe on an island is overrun by tourists, and often there's nothing to see up there except fog, we looked for a point on the Barents Sea that is roughly at the same latitude and still belongs to the European mainland. And I found it in the Norwegian Finnmark at Cape Norkinn with the Kinnarodden rock (71°08’1”N). The tours and clips found on the internet intensified our preparations for walking with luggage in mountainous terrain. Walking and balancing over stones could only be practiced and trained on our hikes shortly before in the Swedish national parks with their natural trails and paths over the barren and rocky fell areas. For optimal preparation, one should also have the right equipment (what is necessary, better to have and not need than ...) with the presumably real weight for the undertaking. The lightweight tent, sleeping bags, and thin sleeping pads only had volume, but hardly any weight. We could distribute them, along with the trekking food and dishes with stove, over 2 backpacks. The rain and spare clothing (also for cooler weather), towel, hygiene articles, headgear, neck scarf, balaclava, gloves, binoculars, sunglasses ... resulted in just under 12 kg for my wife and around 14 kg for me.

    Super Tour! Die 16 km Steinwüste sowohl auf hin und Rückweg sind zwar wirklich anstrengend und recht trist, aber für den nördlichsten Punkt und vor allem den Strand kurz davor lohnt es sich. Wir haben an den ganzen 3 Tagen die wir gewandert sind keinen Menschen gesehen - nur Rentiere und Vögel. Hier kann man ganz alleine am nördlichsten Punkt Europas sein und wenn man dort steht fühlt es sich wirklich nach einer Errungenschaft an. Wir sind die Tour in 3 Tagen gegangen, mit 2 Übernachtungen in der Nähe vom Strand. Wir sind also am 1. Tag bis zum Strand gelaufen, am 2. die Runde hoch zum Kinnarodden und am 3. wieder zurück. In 3 Tagen ist’s durchaus machbar und es ist nicht zu viel, bei schlechtem Wetter sollte man aber auf jeden Fall einen Tag mehr einplanen. Außerdem sollte man diese Tour glaube ich nicht alleine gehen da man in der Steinwüste schnell mal umknicken kann und an den meisten Stellen kein Handy Empfang hat - Deshalb auch mindestens die Karte runterladen zur Orientierung.
