The hike to Glomtinden is completely easy except for the last few meters in altitude. Whoever wants to reach the highest point occasionally has to use their hands briefly. The view is magnificent!

Hoven is a rather small hill on the Lofoten, situated in the middle of the swampy plain in the northwest of the island Gimsøya. It is only 368m high and due to its rather gentle ascent, the hike up here is one of the easiest on the Lofoten. Nevertheless, the mountain offers a fantastic 360° view from its summit and, due to its location, is excellent for observing the midnight sun over the horizon in summer.

    Prachtige wandeling rond het meer. Wij deden er wel meer dan 3u over met af en toe een pauze om foto’s te nemen. Je doet deze wandeling wel best bij droog weer, want het parcours kan drassig zijn.

    Hard to find the right way over very big and mossy stones when you are at the bottom at the rocksliding. When climbing up hold to the left side until you are above the treeline where the rocks get smaller and less angled. Then change over to the right side. You only need to pass one bigger gap that way. On the way down go the same way or you reach a dead end. If it's wet i wouldnt go with a dog (or a small child) again because the rocks were partly very slippery. In total not that long or exhausting. Might be muddy near the small lake. Very nice overview at the smaller peak aswell.

    1h20min up, 50min down. In relatively good form. On a nice and sunny day, you'll probably want to spend some time on the top appreciating the surrounding. It's simply phenomenal.
