Description
Lilandsveten is the highest point on Lilandsåsen and a hike with a good view in Evenes. The trail goes through Lilandsfjellet, with viewpoints, rest areas and landscapes that alternate between ridges, forests and cultural landscapes.
The shortest hike goes from Eveneshallen (just west of Evenes school) and the hill up towards Stuslotte and further on a well-marked path to Veten. The path is somewhat steep, but dry and good uphill along the ridge. At the top, a view of Liland, the archipelago and the Ofotfjord awaits, with a bench, lean-to and exercise box.
For a richer hiking experience, it is recommended to follow the path further past Veten on the return trip. Then you enter the signposted cultural trail that rounds Veten and follow old traffic arteries back to the starting point Stuslåtta. Along the round trip there are several benches, and along the cultural trail there is also a wooden lavvo and outdoor toilet.
