Hiking to Tverrfjellet

August 24, 2010, some fit souls from the University of Tromsø went hiking. The trip went to Tverrfjellet (675m) on the island of Kvaløya. This is a relatively easy peak to climb and really about anyone can go here. It's great hiking terrain and the trip has varied and impressive views.
