Hiking to Kvannfjellet

July 25, 2010, i hiked to Kvannfjellet (1011 m) in Malangen. The start of the trip was some of the most national romantic I've ever experienced, but the enormous amount of flies changed that feeling after a while. There was a well marked trail until the forest line, after that you are on your own. That lead me into some rocky areas that were a bit too steep for my liking on the way up, but I avoided that on the way down. If you know your way around this mountain, the trip is good for anybody. Actually, I found this mountain a bit boring, without much spectacular terrain around, but it was a nice trip anyway. I spent 1h 10min on my way up, and 40min on my way down.
