Hiking

Gjerdalen
When driving up the Gjerdalen valley you will find splendid mountain areas. Although a run-on-river power station has been built there, the area has remained surprisingly untouched.
The road up from Kobbvassgrenda is open from the 15th of July until ca. the 15th of October. Lake Gjerdalsvatnet offers fishing spots suitable for children and disabled, with supervision from Statskog (the Norwegian State-owned Land and Forest Company).
Gjerdalen lies not far from the E6 road and is accessible both by car, motorcycle and bicycle. There are many options for further exploration of the mountain wilds: a hike to Linajavri and towards the Swedish border, ascending the Kautulus peak, a hike towards the valley Horndalen or a short trip to Tullhågen.

Kobbelv og Sørfjorden
Many shorter and longer hiking routes start from Kobbelv and Sørfjorden. You may follow the "Flyktningeleden" (Route of the Refugees) eastward to Sweden. Walking all the way into Sweden is a one to two days trip. Hiking to Kobbhammaren, Reinhausen or Sørfjordvatnet are possible day trips starting at Kobbelv Vertshus Inn.
You can also hike to Kati and Kjelviksjyen after a 2 – 4 km drive from Kobbelv Vertshus Inn. On the way to Kjelviksjyen you may visit the cotter's farm Kjelvik. This has become a part of Salten Museum and is open for visitors during the summer season.

The old farm Kjelvik
The farm Kjelvik is situated by the E6 road, 4-5 km south of Kobbelv Vertshus Inn. To get there, drive to the rest stop on the E6. A path goes up to the left, through a small valley and continues toward the farm from the parking lot.
Kjelvik is a Sámi cotter's farm. Today it is run by Salten Museum and has regular opening hours during the summer season. The Kjelvik Day takes place once a year and acts as a living intermediary of cultural history.
We arrange guided tours to Kjelvik for tourist groups. Contact us, and we will organize a trip in cooperation with Salten Museum.
