View the impressive North Cape plateau from the sea level before heading to Hornvika, which was the starting point for climbs up the plateau up until the road was built in 1965.

Continue to Skarsvåg – the northernmost fishing village in the world – where there will be a short hike to Kirkeporten, a special rock formation with spectacular views.
