Route through Arctic tundra until reaching the geographic North Cape, at 71 ° 11 '08 "
The route begins in Knivskjelodden Trail parking, next to the E69 and runs along an easy path, made of stone and tundra, with little difference in level, except for the descent to the beach.

The route is marked by large stone landmarks.
The tourist North Cape is at 71 ° 10'21 ", where the E69 road ends.

Ah, y muchas gracias por poner tantas fotos e indicaciones del camino, en este caso no eran necesarias para seguirlo, hay tantísimos mojones que incluso en las circunstancias más adversas resultaría complicado perderse.
De todas formas, tus indicaciones vienen muy bien para hacerse una idea del camino previamente.
Me alegro que te fueran útiles

Zeker doen, doch niet onderschatten. Route is goed aangegeven. Pad is oneffen, veel rotsen en vandaag erg drassig. Dat maakt het zwaar. De laatste kilometers door miezer en mist maakten de tocht zwaar en iedereen was echt op. Goed schoeisel echt belangrijk.

Some parts are very wet, most of the trail is very rocky. Scenery is beautiful, reindeers are all over. About 10 minutes is a small steep part. In general it is not easy to walk with a firm pace and you really have look where to set your foot. Calculate at least five hours of walking time without stops. It is a long walk…
I appreciate your comment.
To drostemd: I agree with you. We did the route in August and it was probably easier (until today I had not used the translator to understand your comment). Thank you.
