Day 3: Rekavik to Latravik Lighthouse After photoshooting the arctic foxes I went for the next stage, a relatively easy 3h hike! One kneedeep 30m-river crossing and about 400m of altitude and I was there at the very nice lighthouse hostel in Latravik, where I first took a hot shower and booked a cosy private room! The last 3 days were very tough with a backpack heavier than 40kg! Now I will do some easier dayhikes and concentrate more on photography!
The foxes liked my hot dogs, but didnt like the dry dog food! Another hiker was shocked that while he was eating pasta I gave the foxes delicious hot dogs! But for me it is OK! I was rewarded with very nice shots also of the more anxious little ones! There were 5 of them! Very interesting to see how they move, play and communicate with their mother! Usually the mother gave the hot dogs right away to her cubs. And then there were some little fights for the food! :-)
It is very foggy here and sometimes the route is not so easy to find, though there are excellent markers each 30m!
Great place on earth here in Hornstrandir!
Ordered a pancake with coffee! :-)
