14. 6. 2023 - 1978 Steps / 448 hm Reine - Reinebringen

Today we indulged in an alternative sport. Instead of cycling, we climbed the Reinebringen.

There were 1978 steps and 448 meters of altitude to overcome. Reinebringen is probably the most famous peak in Lofoten.

The view of the picturesque fishing village of Reine, the surrounding peaks and fjords is spectacular. The purest Lofoten postcard idyll! Rightly, the tour on the Reinebringen is one of the most popular hikes in Lofoten. We were also completely thrilled by the magnificent view. However, the ascent should not be underestimated. The steep, sometimes quite high steps are a challenge for fitness and knees.

Actually, we wanted to start very early to reach the viewpoint in good light conditions. Unfortunately, the mountain was a bit foggy and so we started a bit later. At least we reached the viewpoint before the rush of the big tourist crowds. Due to the fog we did not climb the additional 200 meters to the top.

By the way, the impressive stairs were built by Nepalese Sherpas.

Dinner at the restaurant Maren Anna in Solvågen. Historic and cozy restaurant with the finest cuisine, highly recommended.
