This is the view from the Mannen hike, which takes about an hour. It was located a little north of Leknes and was my favourite hike for so many reasons. Firstly, it was a super easy hike, which is always nice when you’re doing a hike or two a day! Also, the view was incredible. Even with such an easy hike, the scenery does not disappoint one bit.

The water looks tropical blue and it will make you completely forget that you’re still in the Arctic. However, you won’t stay in the fantasy that you’re somewhere tropical very long because it was really cold up there—or at least it was in September! Regardless, I will never forget this amazing view we experienced here. I’d say it’s one of the best hikes in Norway.

Travel tip: The mountain is nestled between two of the most gorgeous beaches in Lofoten, the Uttakleiv and Haukland beaches. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit the beaches in the same trip as your hike of Mount Mannen!
