Raudtinden/ (RedPeak)

I'm at home in Tromsø on holiday! Home sweet home!!! Can't explain how much I enjoy it! Even though the weather has not the best it's always nice to c my mum, my nan and my friends ♥

Last night the weather forecast announced sunshine and high temperature coming to the North of Norway today. After several days waking up to rain and a cloudy sky it was such a thrill to actually see a big shiny sun on blue sky this morning. Dealing with rain and clouds over a period left both me and mum feeling really tired but after considering our increasing energy we decided that hiking in the mountains was the perfect activity for us ☺ RAUDTINDEN! The mountain peak reaches 568 metres above sea level. Far from the tallest mountain in the area but a brilliant challenge for us.




After parking the car we followed a path next to a river leading us right up towards our destination peak.
We were not alone hiking in the mountains thus we passed loads of people on the way. (It's possible to see some people a bit ahead in this photo with mum on the path).




The rocks on this mountain has a shade of the colour red and for that reason we believe this mountain got the name which is directly translated from Norwegian to 'Red Peak' in English.


Not far now as we could see the top raising clearly ahead.



Finally!!!! We reached the top! :) After a hard walk in a steep terrain we were aloud to enjoy this fantastic view!!! It's just beautiful!

This view is over a small place called Kaldfjord which means cold fjord ;)


→Right is the view from the opposite side from where we came and underneath is where we climbed up. It's possible to see part of the city across the sea to the left.↓



When we had managed to reach the top it's compulsory to put our names and the date in the book at the top ;)




To the left is mum and in the far distance behind it's possible to see one of the tallest mountains surrounding our city. It's called Tromsdalstinden and it's 1238 metres over sea level and woohoooo me and mum have been there too (just had to tell) lol ;)
