Hauknestinden, Rana Municipality

A nice moderate top with stunning views over ranfjorden. Elevation about 15m-790m How to get there: Coming from the south on the E6, at the remains of the old fuel station, take the exit into Haukness. Drive straight on uphill. Cross the intersections and drive up to the school on the left and a soccer field on the right. There is a large parking on the left side. Finding the track: The track starts at right of the backside of the of the school in Haukness. First follow the unpaved-road uphill for about 150m. Ten take the sharp turn left and follow that path. The path goes gently up for a while and keep following it until it is about to go down again. Around this point you will see/cross the beginning of the actual climb on your right side. First milestone of the journey is Rautinden which is just a pre-top on the path to your final destination (Hauknestinden)4 Conditions of the track First part is very wet and expect alot of mud lvl Norway. Some sections are quite steep and may be challenging in winter season when frozen. Later on the path becomes more moderate. Last sections again are more steep but the view will make you push trough. Horseflies: Dont go up here around the horsefly-season. (end of july / begin og august). If you really want to, camp at haukness strand during the day, and wait until the evening (after eight) to start the hike. During this period of the year it does not get really dark. Offcourse you will attrak some musquitos, but they are childsplay compared to the horseflies. You can thank me later.

Great urban peak that you can go to when you do not have such a good time. Recommended both summer and winter.
