Out on the headland, the view opens wide in every direction, and it is easy to sense the presence of history. Lars \u00c5ke Andersen has walked this route many times, and shares a few thoughts and stories along the way.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lyngen is best known for its alpine peaks and demanding mountain tours, but there are also beautiful areas suited for shorter walks. I am fortunate enough to have family in Nord-Lenangen, and over the years I have made several trips to the northernmost point of the Lyngen peninsula. Lyngstuva has given its name to both the local football team and the village amateur theatre, and it holds a special place for people who live here. Along the trail, a simple guestbook awaits visitors who want to leave their name before continuing towards this easily accessible summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\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\/2022\/11\/N-Lenangen-jul2012_-9505.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1594\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/N-Lenangen-jul2012_-9505-2048x1360.jpg\" alt=\"Lift to transport oil to the lighthouse \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/N-Lenangen-jul2012_-9505.jpg\" data-caption=\"Lift to transport oil to the lighthouse \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" \/>\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\/2022\/11\/N-Lenangen-jul2012_-9564.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1598\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/N-Lenangen-jul2012_-9564-768x511.jpg\" alt=\"Remnants of a shipwreck on Lyngstuva Point \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/N-Lenangen-jul2012_-9564.jpg\" data-caption=\"Remnants of a shipwreck on Lyngstuva Point \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" \/>\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\/2022\/11\/Drone_N-Lenangen-0015.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1799\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Drone_N-Lenangen-0015-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"A summer&#039;s day at Lyngstuva Point.

With its highest point only 90 metres above sea level, the walk is manageable for most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, I have come to realise that the path towards the lighthouse also carries a rich and fascinating history. According to historians at the University of Troms\u00f8, this area once marked Norway\u2019s outer frontier. It is something to reflect on as you approach the small cabin beside the lighthouse, quietly celebrating its hundredth anniversary in 2022.<\/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\/2022\/11\/Lyngstuva2.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1799\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lyngstuva2-2048x1535.jpg\" alt=\"View from Point Lyngstuva toward the island of Nord-Fugl\u00f8y \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lyngstuva2.jpg\" data-caption=\"View from Point Lyngstuva toward the island of Nord-Fugl\u00f8y \u00a9 Lars \u00c5ke Andersen\" \/>\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\/2022\/11\/Drone_N-Lenangen-0009.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1594\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Drone_N-Lenangen-0009-768x510.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Russelv area, the northernmost inhabited area on the Lyngen Peninsula.

Built in 1922, it served as shelter for those responsible for maintaining the light. The work had to be done regardless of weather or snow conditions, and the modest cabin must have been a welcome refuge. Today, it has become a small and weathered gem, shared by travellers from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-heart-remains-at-lyngstuva\">My heart remains at Lyngstuva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many years the lighthouse cabin stood without maintenance, until two young German travellers took it upon themselves to restore it in the 1980s. Perhaps it was them who left a handwritten note still hanging on the wall: <em>Even if I travel far away, my heart remains at Lyngstuva.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, visitors can sit at a small table inside and enjoy a cup of coffee when the wind picks up outside. For the more adventurous, there is also the possibility of spending the night in the unheated loft. A small stove stands in the corner, and a short text about the lighthouse tells the story of this place at the very edge of the Lyngen peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\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\/2026\/02\/015039_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015039_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" alt=\"Summer evening at Lyngstuva, the northern finale of the Lyngen Alps \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015039_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Summer evening at Lyngstuva, the northern finale of the Lyngen Alps \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/015038_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015038_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"The little lighthouse at Lyngstuva seen from the hill above \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015038_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"The little lighthouse at Lyngstuva seen from the hill above \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/015040_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015040_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"A glimpse into the guestbook in the small hut by the beacon at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015040_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"A glimpse into the guestbook in the small hut by the beacon at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/015042_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015042_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh summer day at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/015042_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Fresh summer day at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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: Summer evening at Lyngstuva, the northern finale of the Lyngen Alps \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The little lighthouse at Lyngstuva seen from the hill above \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: A glimpse into the guestbook in the small hut by the beacon at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Fresh summer day at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-trail-crosses-grazing-land\">The trail crosses grazing land<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bjarne Leonhardsen (69) lives in Russelv, the last village before Lyngstuva.

But the area is more than just recreation; it is also used for grazing. Goats can often be seen feeding along the route, and old stone fences still mark where bulls in rut were once kept separate from the cows. Wildlife is part of the experience too, with otters, foxes and seabirds such as cormorants and sea eagles frequently seen in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\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\/2026\/02\/159214_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/159214_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"The midnight sun over the sea by Nord-Fugl\u00f8ya, seen from Lyngstuva. \u00a9 Timo Oksanen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/159214_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"The midnight sun over the sea by Nord-Fugl\u00f8ya, seen from Lyngstuva. \u00a9 Timo Oksanen\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/159208_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"720x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/159208_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Summer night at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Timo Oksanen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/159208_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Summer night at Lyngstuva \u00a9 Timo Oksanen\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/159210_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/159210_Timo-Oksanen_nordnorge.com_-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Midnight sun at Lyngstuva.

The small cabin was built precisely for this purpose \u2014 to provide shelter and, when necessary, a place to stay overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the edge you can still see the winch once used to haul oil up from the shoreline below. \u201cWe took over the farm in 1981, and I\u2019ve had many demanding walks out here to check the light,\u201d Bjarne says. \u201cFor the boats passing outside, it was vital that the light was working.\u201d Today, the old lighthouse has been replaced by a modern light powered by solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\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\/2023\/10\/Nord-Fugloy-Jan-Oliver-Koch-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1618x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Nord-Fugloy-Jan-Oliver-Koch-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" alt=\"Nord-Fugl\u00f8y is an uninhabited mountain island that can be seen from Nord-Lenangen and a few other locations along the outer coast of Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Jan Oliver Koch \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Nord-Fugloy-Jan-Oliver-Koch-Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Nord-Fugl\u00f8y is an uninhabited mountain island that can be seen from Nord-Lenangen and a few other locations along the outer coast of Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Jan Oliver Koch \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/024233_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/024233_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"At the northern end of the Lyngen Peninsula in winter light \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/024233_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"At the northern end of the Lyngen Peninsula in winter light \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/024230_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/024230_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Grand nature at the Lyngen Peninsula&#039;s northern tip, Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/024230_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Grand nature at the Lyngen Peninsula&#039;s northern tip, Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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\/2026\/02\/024217_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"1620x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/024217_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"The remote island of Nord-Fugl\u00f8y seen from Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/024217_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"The remote island of Nord-Fugl\u00f8y seen from Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek\" \/>\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: Nord-Fugl\u00f8y is an uninhabited mountain island that can be seen from Nord-Lenangen and a few other locations along the outer coast of Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Jan Oliver Koch \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: At the northern end of the Lyngen Peninsula in winter light \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Grand nature at the Lyngen Peninsula&#039;s northern tip, Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: The remote island of Nord-Fugl\u00f8y seen from Lyngstuva \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lyngstuva-at-the-edge-of-the-border\">Lyngstuva at the edge of the border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to some researchers, Lyngstuva marked Norway\u2019s outer frontier from the 14th century onwards. Standing here and looking north and east, you are facing an area that once functioned as a buffer zone between Norway and Russia. For several centuries, the region was primarily inhabited by S\u00e1mi communities, who were taxed by both kingdoms. In the far north, borders were often loosely defined, and control was exercised through taxation and seasonal presence rather than fixed boundary lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s note: The hike to Lyngstuva can be combined with other activities in the area.
