We had brave visitors from Switzerland in mid October.
After a good sleep, local information and buying the hiking map at Adventure camp Mehamn
http://www.nordicsafari.no/en.php/catalog/,cid.32,pid.28
The team started out as the last hiking team this summer season to the Northernmost point on the European Continent, the more and more popular Cape Nordkyn
The 23 kiometer long hiking route starts at Mehamn Airport along a stoneman marked route
all the way out to the cliff at position 71.08.00 N
New fallen snow made the stony way slippery and hard.
After 3 days the group came back as planned and we were happy to see them again.
The history tells that during the 2. world war there was 2 German Junker 88 aeroplanes crash landing
at the Cape Nordkyn. The interesting link to the history of this planes you find here. http://www.luftfart.museum.no/Engelsk/Restoration/ju88.htm#JU88LAST
During the years many hikers have found peace and freedom at Cape Nordkyn - this virgin last wilderness part of Europe. The useful link to one of these enthousiast is: http://nordlandseite.de/mehamn.htm
