Keiservarden is probably Bodø's most popular hiking destination, which is probably well visited all year round. The path up Veten (that's what the mountain is actually called) is well-paved and easy to walk, which is what many people do. The view from the way, but especially from the summit, is simply sensational. You have a 360° view, from the one over Bodø to the one over the sea. If the visibility is good, you can see the Lofoten Islands flashing in the distance. The light is unique. You have to do it!
Why is the mountain called Keiservarden? Well, because in 1891 the German Emperor Wilhelm II (and his entourage) was up here. A landmark was erected in his honor and the path up here was called Keiserstien. Wilhelm II was a Norway fan.
