Balsfjord - English outing cards

Clip_eng_Fugltinden

Northeast of Storsteinnes lies the majestic Fugltinden peak. The mountain rests where Balsfjord arches in a large bow to the north and east and with Malangen to the west with its fjord arm Nordfjord. You will feel surrounded by the sea from the beginning to the top. The view stretches in all directions so a midnight sun trip to Fugltinden peak is highly recommended. The trip is relatively long and offers a lot of varied terrain with several little mountain lakes along the way. The view from the top is spectacular.
