Dronningruta / The Queen's Route is a round trip between Stø and Nyksund, and can be started from either place, but is more commonly started from Nyksund. The highest point is Finngamheia (448 mas). The route is signposted with the Hiking Association's Ts at the starting points and along the trail. The hiking surface is mountain rock, earth, stone and peat.

There is a sheep trail up the mountainside; at the summit, the ground is hard and stony. There is a steep section from both sides up to the mountain summit. Certain parts are secured with safety ropes.

Hi, this route is in the wrong place at the global map. There is a really Nice Dronningrute in Steigen as well at that spot, but its not the one between Stø and Nyksund, as that’s in VesterÃ¥len. Right north of Lofoten.Â
