Straumklumpen

Straumklumpen does not disappoint with its formidable view of the Lofoten Wall in the west, and the border mountains with Sweden in the east. In the south you can see Norway’s third largest glacier, Blåmannisen, and in the east lies Andkjelvatnet.

Hike Description

You can follow the access sign from the information board in the center of Straumen to the start of the path on the west side of Straumklumpen at the top of the construction site. From here the path goes into the forest. Follow the sign / marked path on the south side of the water tower up the steep slopes. After approx. 600 m of steep ascent through the forest, you come across Snaufjellet and a rest bench where you can take a break and enjoy the first view.

The first ticket box where you can write your name, you will find approx. 1 km before the main summit. From here you must follow the signs south-east to the cairn at the top of Straumklumpen. Here, too, there is a travel case with a book.
