The small town of Brønnøysund is located roughly in the middle of the long and winding Norwegian coastline. The surrounding landscape is scenic, and a myriad of islands protect it from the Atlantic Ocean in the west.
Join this visit to the legendary Mt Torghatten, traveling through the center of Brønnøysund and over the Brønnøysund Bridge, which connects the mainland with Torget Island.
Over the centuries, Mt Torghatten, with its distinctive hole right through the mountain, has been a well-known landmark for sailors. The mountain's shape resembles a hat and according to legend, the hole was made by an arrow from the Horseman of Hestmannen Island.
Leave the coach for a hike of about 30 minutes each way up to the hole. It measures about 165 yards long by 35 yards tall by 15 yards wide and offers a fine view.
Please note: Terrain includes rough and uneven surfaces, inclines, gravel, rocks, roots, grass, and about 150 steps up and down. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes or hiking boots. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer even on a fine day; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with a heart condition or mobility limitations.
