Queen’s route the day before was the most strenous of all our hikes both physically and mentally so far, so the next day was going to be a rest day. We drove to towards Lofoten islands and as it was also a very windy day we decided to go to the Viking museum Lofotr and …

Finding high places, Queen’s route, Sto, Norway
On the 21nd of July we finally got closer to Lofoten. The network connections are not that good here between the high hills and when camping electricity not always easily accessible. Hence a bit of a break in updating. Anyway… looked for nice hikes along the way and found this scenic route at the end …
Finding high places – Bromorstinden, Tromso, Norway
We were going to have a “rest day” after the 22 kilometers hike the day before but after breakfast we started already looking for “easy” hikes around the area. Found this absolutely amazing view point about 1 hour drive away from Tromso called Bromorstinden. On the way we encountered reindeer again. This guy was not …
Finding high places – Malla National park, Kilpisjärvi
We thought we should keep a “not-so-much-incline” day and decided to visit the three country border where Finland, Sweden and Norway cross borders. The route one way is 11 kilometers with “not that much” incline. Well true, not that much, but calculate that round-trip and it starts to be a decent amount after all. Plus …
Finding high places – Saana, Finland

Obviously previous days climb to Taivaskero is in the background took it’s toll and energy levels were a bit low to start with. Still we managed to …

Finally on holiday and in Northern Finland! It was a few days drive 1200 kilometers pit stop at along the way for the night and off in the morning again here. Drive was ok and made a few stops here and there so it did not feel that long. , but you do know you …
Finding high places – Högberget, Sipoonkorpi National Park
Went hiking with kids to my local National park Sipoonkorpi today. Weather was perfect sunny, not too hot. This national park is where I do most of my long runs as it’s fairly close and there are plenty of routes/trails to choose from. I hardly ever do the same trail during the summer, but at …
Finding high places – Kivikko, Helsinki
View from the natural top of Helsinki. Well almost the highest… I think the highest is actually about 100 m to North still, but I tend to climb here on my runs. Nice view to Helsinki Malmi private airport and the city. So now I will start blogging. First I need to test how this …
