If the queen can do it, so can you, right?

I grew up in Northern Norway, and every time I return back home I go hiking. There are so many great hikes up there, and our queen has hiked this one many times. There are many great hikes on the island Senja, which is Norways second biggest island. And there is a bridge taking you there so no need to worry about ferries. The queens trail is fairly easy with a somewhat gradual ascent. And when you get to the top you have amazing views.

If the queen can do it, so can you, right?
Our queen hikes a lot and has got many trails around Norway named after her. But she is more than 70 years old now so if she can do it, then so can you. This hike is for everyone I would say, at least if you avoid the narrow parts at the summit.

Feel free to check out my video from when I did the hike and judge for yourself. My hike to Husfjellet starts at 3 minutes and 40 seconds into the video.
