Join a guided hike to Himakånå, a spectacular viewpoint 357 metres above sea level, known for its stunning panoramic views of the fjords. This tour is always organised in small groups and begins with a comfortable minibus ride to Nedstrand. Here you'll receive a typical Norwegian and locally produced packed lunch before the walk begins. The hike is on a steep gravel road with about 2.2 kilometres to the top, and takes about an hour each way. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy the stunning views and take photos at this iconic ‘selfie’ spot. After a short break and a snack, head back to Nedstrand where the minibus is waiting.
