The actual goal of our journey today: the hole in the mountain in Torghatten welcomed us with bright sunshine and a steep ascent, but the effort was definitely worth it, even though we still need to improve our proper shoes for such hikes - in both directions the view was fantastic: mountains, skerries, sea. Afterwards, we had to scrub a few more kilometers. We stopped at Tosen Fjord, at a spot right on the edge. The view is breathtaking, the departure will be terrifying ;) We somehow have to turn around, preferably right now, and then take a steep, narrow, and unpaved road back to the street. It will be exciting!
