The fiery horseman Hestmannen was pursuing the maid Lekam\u00f8ya and the Seven Sisters. While Hestmannen was after Lekam\u00f8ya, there is more than a suggestion that several of the sisters had taken a fancy to Hestmannen, the Adonis of the Lofoten Islands.  The soap-like drama had a terrible ending, however, when the sun rose and all were turned into stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From the tops, you can see much of Nordland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Botnkrona, the highest of the Seven Sisters, offers the broadest panorama, with the Vega Archipelago, Mount Torghatten and the far-north hills of Tr\u00f8ndelag visible to the south. Out over the sea in the west are spread the myriad islands, islets and skerries of the Helgeland coast up to the three mountain peaks at Tr\u00e6na. The 1,916 metre-high (6,286 ft) Oksskolten, the highest peak in Northern Norway, lies to the east. To the north is the great Svartisen Glacier, and on a clear day you can see the Lofoten mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/009532_Emil-Sollie-Brixton-Frames_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Alstahaug.jpg\" data-size=\"534x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/009532_Emil-Sollie-Brixton-Frames_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Alstahaug.jpg\" alt=\"From the top of Kvasstinden you can see over much of Helgeland&#039;s islands \u00a9 Emil Sollie - Brixton Frames \/ Helgeland Reiseliv\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/009532_Emil-Sollie-Brixton-Frames_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Alstahaug.jpg\" data-caption=\"From the top of Kvasstinden you can see over much of Helgeland&#039;s islands \u00a9 Emil Sollie - Brixton Frames \/ Helgeland Reiseliv\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/010700_Jonas-Berglund_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Heroey.jpg\" data-size=\"600x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/010700_Jonas-Berglund_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Heroey.jpg\" alt=\"One of the bridges in Her\u00f8y, and the sisters in late Summer light \u00a9 Jonas Berglund\/Helgeland Reiseliv\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/010700_Jonas-Berglund_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Heroey.jpg\" data-caption=\"One of the bridges in Her\u00f8y, and the sisters in late Summer light \u00a9 Jonas Berglund\/Helgeland Reiseliv\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/010613_Jonas-Berglund_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Heroey.jpg\" data-size=\"600x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/010613_Jonas-Berglund_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Heroey.jpg\" alt=\"The Sisters, and the ferry to Her\u00f8y \u00a9 Jonas Berglund \/ Helgeland Reiseliv\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/010613_Jonas-Berglund_Helgeland-Reiseliv_Heroey.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Sisters, and the ferry to Her\u00f8y \u00a9 Jonas Berglund \/ Helgeland Reiseliv\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: From the top of Kvasstinden you can see over much of Helgeland&#039;s islands \u00a9 Emil Sollie &#8211; Brixton Frames \/ Helgeland Reiseliv<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: One of the bridges in Her\u00f8y, and the sisters in late Summer light \u00a9 Jonas Berglund\/Helgeland Reiseliv<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The Sisters, and the ferry to Her\u00f8y \u00a9 Jonas Berglund \/ Helgeland Reiseliv<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow the trails to reach the peaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Seven Sisters are not particularly difficult to climb for people of average fitness and mobility.

Well-marked trails lead from Botn at Sandnessj\u00f8en up and down all seven peaks to S\u00f8vika, south of the airport in Sandnessj\u00f8en. There are also a number of marked parking spaces. The tourist information office in Sandnessj\u00f8en sells walking maps drawn up by Sandnessj\u00f8en og Omegn Turistforening (Sandnessj\u00f8en and Surrounds Tourism Association).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Only the experienced can handle the all Seven peaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking the entire range, ascending and descending all the peaks, is a challenge for all reasonably fit and reasonably experienced mountain hikers. Most will manage the entire trip in 10 to 15 hours.
