A lake-strung route past the Munkebu DNT hut to the 770 m Munken.

The trailhead is near Sørvågen in Lofoten, Nordland. The walk is 13 km with 800 m of ascent and takes 5 to 7 hrs, and the usual season is June to September. The closest scenic drive is the Lofoten route, roughly 4.2 km away.

Why it's loved. A blogger favourite alternative when Reinebringen's stairs are mobbed.

Skip the crowds. This is the quieter alternative to Reinebringen, same kind of reward, far fewer people.

Season: June to September
