Skreia Hills #fjordsofnorway
A view from the island Helgøya across lake Mjøsa, towards the Skreia hills in the far.
A geographical funfact about Skreia, is that the sightline directly to the east from its southernmost peak Skreikampen-698m (leftmost here) is almost endless,
as it does not touch any higher landscape until it hits the Ural mountains far into Russia! Hence that view is only obstructed by the curvature of the earth.
The farthest point seen from Skreikampen is Trolltind(Sagtind)-2018m in Rondane NP, 169.0 km to the NNW (333.4°).
For the rest of the view, it covers 10606 km². Not bad for a hill of such a modest height.
