... is going out for a hike on Harstadfjellet (1004 mtrs) together with my husband, especially since it has been the greatest fall weather ever the last couple of days (clear sky, sunshine, nearly 20 degrees) but also because today it was the national Kom deg ut (Out and about) day.
In Norway there is an organization called Den Norske Turistforening (DNT) (Norwegian Trekking Association), that promotes trekking and other outdoor activities. They mark and maintain foot trails and ski tracks, but best of all - they operate cabins all over this northern, long strechted country where you can spend the night either completely by yourself or together with others for nearly next to nothing. Yes, there are still some things in Norway that aren't expensive! The network of trails and cabins are a great way to explore the Norwegian outdoors, but as less and less Norwegians get out and about...this Sunday was used to promote a healthy and active outdoor lifestyle.
We are definitely greatfull for living in an area of Norway were we are surrounded by many high peaks, so that we can discover a new peak and view whenever we feel like it.
