Hiking Description

Drive to Sundsfjorden on fv. 17. From here you take the construction road south, and up Sundsfjordfjellet. There is a car parking at the southern end of Langvatnet where the road ends. From here, follow the path a short distance north along the lake, before it turns and you head south along the ridge of Stabbursfjellet and down to Fellvasstua. Fellvasstua belongs to BOT/DNT and is an open cabin. Follow the markings along Fellvatnet to the east end of the lake. Here you will find the Earth Bridge over the outlet of Sundvasselva. The forest offers somewhat tortuous progress, but the reward is birdsong.

The trip is one of the Salten Outdoor Activities Council’s selected 55 captivating hikes in the region.
