Sandhornet
A 993-meter peak rising from an island, offering a 360-degree view from the summit over the Norwegian coast, the archipelago and Lofoten in the distance.
Sandhornet stands on Sandhornøya island in Gildeskål, southwest of Bodø. It rises almost directly from sea level to 993 m. The summit route takes about 2.5–3 hours one way and includes some steep, rocky sections. On clear days, the view from the top is extremely wide. Many people climb at night in summer to watch the midnight sun. It takes about an hour to drive from Bodø, connected by bridge. Check the weather, since cloudy or foggy days offer no view.
