Fottur til Melkarn

# Melkarn: Båtsfjord's Secret Want to experience Båtsfjord from the top? Melkarn is the answer – a 215-meter high gem that rewards you with views over the entire settlement. The shortest route starts behind the school, where the path winds up towards the plateau. From there, you follow the lit trail eastwards before crossing the valley and following the river on the south side. The climb becomes steep towards the end, but the view is worth every effort. On the backside awaits a small lake – perfect for those wanting to try their fishing luck. Multiple starting points make the hike flexible: Havnedalsvegen or the sports hall. With blue grading and steady climbing, the hike is best tackled with good footwear – some rocky sections require a bit of attention. A classic Arctic mountain hike in a short time.
