Getting there on foot involves a long hike, but the terrain is not challenging or difficult in any way. For any able-bodied traveller with an interest in geography, Knivskjelodden is, therefore, a natural final destination for any North Cape journey.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">The 307-metre (1007-foot) cliffs at the North Cape are firmly established as Europe&#8217;s northernmost point. Cruise tourists and bus groups, mobile home tourists and hardier explorers such as long-distance cyclists take selfies of themselves with the iconic globe in the background, perhaps even with the midnight sun. However, the observant tourist will notice the low headland which can be seen on the left, Knivskjelodden. Although it is far less impressive than the cliffs of North Cape, it is actually 1450&nbsp;metres (4750&nbsp;feet) further north. Many people will therefore consider the trip to North Cape to be incomplete unless they make it all the way to Knivskjelodden.<\/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\/11\/DSC_9824-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9824-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" alt=\"Trodding carefully up and down the path to Knivskjelodden \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9824-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-caption=\"Trodding carefully up and down the path to Knivskjelodden \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/11\/DSC_9816-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x592\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9816-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" alt=\"North Cape seen from Knivskjelodden \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9816-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-caption=\"North Cape seen from Knivskjelodden \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/11\/DSC_9803-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9803-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" alt=\"Afar the Gjesv\u00e6rstappan cliffs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9803-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-caption=\"Afar the Gjesv\u00e6rstappan cliffs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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: Trodding carefully up and down the path to Knivskjelodden \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: North Cape seen from Knivskjelodden \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Afar the Gjesv\u00e6rstappan cliffs \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hiking-to-knivskjelodden\">Hiking to Knivskjelodden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&nbsp;made the hike one grey day in August. We parked in a car park on the road between Skarsv\u00e5g and North Cape. From here, a marked trail extends to Knivskjelodden. The path, which is rocky but not particularly difficult to walk on, initially drops down slightly. As we continued along the path, we passed a couple of small lakes and then continued on through a peaceful valley with greener, taller vegetation. Along the way, we saw the characteristic silhouette of Gjesv\u00e6rstappan, a group of high, steep-sided, grass-covered islands, against the grey sea mist out towards the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-down-towards-the-sea\"> Down towards the sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A fairly steep descent led us to down to the beach in the bay of Knivskjelbukta. We crossed a grassy meadow with a sandy beach full of driftwood to reach the start of the Knivskjelodden headland itself. From here, we could see the cliffs of North Cape, rising 300 metres (1000 feet) straight up on the other side. Now all we had to do was cross the smooth rocky slabs of the headland. We zigzagged a little across the peaty sections in order to walk on the smooth rock as much as possible.<\/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\/2019\/11\/DSC_9838.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9838.jpg\" alt=\"From Cape Knivskjelodden, you have to watch towards the south-east to see the North Cape \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9838.jpg\" data-caption=\"From Cape Knivskjelodden, you have to watch towards the south-east to see the North Cape \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/11\/DSC_9852-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9852-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" alt=\"Rocky and stony, so good shoes come in handy \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9852-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-caption=\"Rocky and stony, so good shoes come in handy \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/11\/DSC_9860-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9860-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" alt=\"Litt mer skjermet og litt h\u00f8yere vegetasjon litt lenger inn (c) Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9860-\u2013-Kopi.jpg\" data-caption=\"Litt mer skjermet og litt h\u00f8yere vegetasjon litt lenger inn (c) Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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\/11\/DSC_9839.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1280\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9839.jpg\" alt=\"Slippery rock surfaces \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_9839.jpg\" data-caption=\"Slippery rock surfaces \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\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 Cape Knivskjelodden, you have to watch towards the south-east to see the North Cape \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Rocky and stony, so good shoes come in handy \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Litt mer skjermet og litt h\u00f8yere vegetasjon litt lenger inn (c) Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Slippery rock surfaces \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-furthest-north-in-europe\"> Furthest north in Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we reached the outermost low headland. Here, there was nothing but waves lapping against the hard rock, a solitary boat far out to sea and the view stretching southeast across to the North Cape plateau. The feeling of having reached the edge of the world was very tangible. A cairn was built here in 2000, and a delightfully photogenic scene it makes too, with the cliffs of North Cape across the bay in the background. We wrote in the book and set out on our return journey.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\tPractical information about Knivskjellodden\n\t\t\t<\/h3><div class=\"t2-accordion wp-block-t2-accordion\" data-allow-multiple=\"1\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"is-it-hard-to-hike-to-knivskjellodden?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tIs it hard to hike to Knivskjellodden?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel\" aria-labelledby=\"is-it-hard-to-hike-to-knivskjellodden?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tAnyone who can hike 19\u00a0km (12\u00a0miles) can reach Knivskjelodden.
