Tele mast / Top 90
The journey begins by leaving the town, setting the stage for a delightful escape into the wilderness. As you ascend to the top 90, the elevation gain is a manageable 50 meters, making it accessible for hikers of various skill levels. The panoramic views from this vantage point provide a perfect spot for whale watching during the summer months, adding an extra layer of excitement to your hike.
Navigating the route is made easy with the trail markings painted in a vibrant blue hue on rocks along the path. Be prepared for varying conditions, as some sections of the trail may become muddy based on recent weather patterns.
This thoughtful touch ensures that hikers can confidently follow the trail, enhancing the overall experience. However, during the winter months, when snow blankets the landscape, the colors may be obscured, requiring hikers to rely on other navigational cues.
Circular Hike Option: For those seeking a more varied experience and avoiding retracing steps, the circular hike option is a delightful choice. After following the blue-marked trail, the journey takes an exciting turn as you transition to orange and then red markings, leading you through different landscapes and viewpoints. This circular route provides a diverse and enriching adventure.
