Join us on our epic hike to the summit of Ryten (543 m). A beautiful hike that starts at sea level, climbs to around 80 meters and then drops to sea level again. Once at the beach you’ll start a steep and long ascent towards the summit. The hike offers spectacular views with the final reward lying at the summit. Together with Peter, Jurre Jan & Melvin, we set off to hike to the beautiful vantage point on the summit of Ryten. Follow us on our epic journey towards the summit!
The view at the summit is beyond imagination! It is worth all the effort! Tamron SP 24-70 F/2.8 G2 @ 27 mm | f/11 | 1 sec | ISO 100 with NiSi Landscape CPL.
AT THE SUMMIT
It was a beautiful but though hike and even though the view at the summit is spectacular, the blistering cold made it nearly impossible to take any pictures. After I had taken one shot, the sun disappeared behind a band of clouds close to the horizon. Therefore I packed away the camera and flew the drone. This was one of the scariest flights I’ve done. There was so much wind, and thanks to a battery problem, my controller (which is now at DJI for replacement) depleted super fast and my phone was only at one percent because of filming with it. And to add to this, because of the extreme cold, my gloves were frozen solid. This ment that moving the sticks was a bit more crude than normally, but still I am super excited about the drone footage. I really hope you enjoy this video!

Hi there Harmen, welcome to Hive, particularly another traveller. It's crazy to see freezing snowy mountains at so low altitude, it must have been freezing there. But it's so beautiful there, like you're the only person in the whole world.
I'm part of the haveyoubeenhere and pinmapple team on Hive and we're the largest and most active travel community on Hive so it's really nice that you choose to make your first post with us, and I guess/hope we'll be seeing a lot of you around.
In order to make your Hive journey a lot smoother, here's some tips that would be useful for newbies
2 sadly we get a lot of impersonators on Hive who monetise other people's content. In order to protect yourself and your content, we advice people to add the Hive link in their social media profile so the Hive community know they're supporting the correct person
3 and finally, in order to maximize your rewards on Hive, you can post directly from our community using the main front ends such as hive.blog, peakd.com or ecency.com as they will give you access to all the rest of thee Hive ecosystem enabling you to build your network beyond travel. Furthermore, using these front ends means you get to keep all your post rewards as they don't take any beneficiary cuts from you.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask, and hope to see you around!
Hello,
Thank you so much for the nice compliments and really helpful advice!
It was crazy to be there on the top of that mountain. I had been there multiple times before but never experienced such harsh conditions. I had been there with a lot of snow on every other occasion too, but this particular time was really cold and hard. It was epic though! It makes you feel so alive. The reason that there is so much snow at such low altitude is because it is well within the Arctic circle.
I will make an introduction post! That is a really good idea!
Greetings Harmen
Woow, great place and superb pics? Where it is located?
Thanks so much! This is in Norway, well within the Arctic circle. On the Lofoten to be precise.

Great image! I love those post sunset sky colors, and the drone footage in your video was awesome!
Thanks very much! That is a nice thing to say. To fly the drone here was really scary! It was super windy and I couldn't feel my fingers anymore :-D
hello, @harmenpiekema! I'm @jcrodriguez from the @OCD team. we've seen that you've already published your first post here on Hive! congratulations and welcome! I'm looking at your social media and your photos are amazing and you've visited fabulous places. You know what would be great? If you put on your yotube channel and instagram a link to your new blog on Hive, so your followers would have the option to follow you and read your blog on the platform.
However, the best way to start your journey here on Hive is to make an awesome introductory post . As an example of what an introduction post is, you can refer to this introduction post as a reference:
Keeping Up With the Buzz - My Introduction to the Hive Community
There is no specific format on how to make your introduction post, but there are some suggested content we would like to see in your post: Information like who you are and where you're from, how you discovered Hive or who invited you, what types of content you want to see here and the types you want to produce, and what your expectations are on this platform. You can choose the information you want to share. This will help other Hivers get to know you and feel comfortable supporting your work here.
The best thing to do is to post in the right community, there are a lot of communities you can explore and subscribe to the ones you like. Check out the OCD Community Incubation Program. There is a wide variety of topics, you are sure to find the right communities for your content.
You may run into RC (Resource Credits) issues when trying to comment/post because you don't have enough Hive Power in your account yet. You can fix this with a one-week temporary delegation through the Gift Giver Site. Another solution is to have the person who recommended Hive delegate some Hive Power to you.
If you are looking for tips and information as a newbie to Hive, click here: newbie guide. They are easy to understand and useful to learn how the platform ecosystem works.
Keep in mind that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms, as you are monetizing your blog, so it's important not to include content you don't own without sources (and it should not exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check out this post – Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers. You can also check out this excellent collection of resources to understand how plagiarism and abuse is handled on the platform.
If you have questions or concerns, you can join the OCD Discord server and we will be happy to answer your questions.
Lovesniper will follow you, we hope to see your presentation post soon! You can tag @lovesniper in your introduction post.
Thanks very much for the compliments! Also, thanks a lot for the tips and advice! That is very useful since there is a lot possible on Hive. I will try to take it all in and I will post an introduction as well. I love to write so I will probably write a lot more blogs in the near future!
Thanks again for making me feel really welcome!
Greetings Harmen
