Varanger Peninsula
Varangerhalvøya is the largest peninsula i Norway. The landscape here is old an was mostly shaped before the last Ice Age. During the Ice Age, the ice lay stationary over much of the peninsula and therefore had little effect on the landscape.
The National Park is ideal for skiing, hiking and cycling, and the terrain is friendly over large areas, particulary south of Skipskjølen. Distance are nevertheless great and rivers may be difficult to cross. There are noe marked paths, but thematic maps and GPS files suggest some routes.
Several unlocked huts can be found, mostly far inside the park, and they offer convenient accommondation on trips lasting several days. Even though the highest peak on Skipskjølen is only 633 m.o.h.
The weather may shift rapidly on this high ground, even in midsummer.
The park offers good small-game hunting, and licences may be purchased at inatur.no.
Salmon, sea char and sea trout can be fished in several rivers. The best-known are Veste Jakobselv, Skallelv, Bergebyelv og Komagelv. And north-east; Sandefjordelv. (Tekst: Varanger Museum)
Since species from the Arctic, eastern Siberian and more southerly areas all occur together on the Varanger Peninsula, the plant life is distinctive.
And there is a rich areas for birdwatchers. Hornøya outside Vardø is special. You will walk very close to the birds. A frenchman called the bird island:
"A fantasy place".
There is a lot of places you can watch: Old sami ritual places. You can walk on the path telling the story of the sami people lived nearby Nesseby. There is also a sami museum in Varangerbotn.
