From Dueodde to Snogebaek Havn (Nexø) on the beautiful Danish island of Bornholm, a six-kilometer trail stretches over dunes and a sandy beach, which is tough when there is a headwind.
The trip to the highest point of Hammerknuden is adventurous. The reward is the fantastic view from the Hammerfyr lighthouse over the north of Bornholm.
At the furthest point of the Lyngen Alps, where the Barents Sea, Ullsfjord and Lyngenfjord meet, the Lyngstuva lighthouse on Sørklubben guards the shipping lanes. The scramble up to the lighthouse is rewarded with a fantastic view.
Vadsø is located on the edge of the Arctic Ocean on the Barents Sea (Norwegian: Barentshavet), which was named after the Dutch navigator Willem Barents. Vadsø is a gateway to Varangerhalvøya National Park, whose wild expanses are unparalleled. We took accommodation right on the sea access in Annijoki at the Varangerfjord close to Vadsø and were the only guests in the house at this time of year (May). The Barents adventure began as soon as we checked into the locked house, because there was no staff and the situation was only clarified when we called the owner.
The Westerheven lighthouse is located around 1 km from the outer dike towards the lake and is a popular photo opportunity thanks to its two symmetrical houses.
