City walk in Nanortalik
In our office you can get city maps for a walk in Nanortalik on your own. You can also take a walk with one of our local guides.

With one of our maps of the surrounding mountainside you can safely climb the 559 meter Storfjeld (Big Mountain) or the 308 meter Ravnefjel (Raven Mountain). From both you get breathtaking views of the island. You can also walk the coast to the ruins of the first Nanortalik settlement from 1797.

One of our most beautiful day trips is the boat trip to the ice cap in the Tasermiut Fjord. We also visit the remote village Tasiusaq and sail by high peaks, among them the Ketil Fjeld – a favourite among climbers with its 1000 meter vertical wall.

A well-preserved secret is the strange hot springs on the Uunartoq island. Here you can take a dip in pools with a constant temperature of 38 C / 100.4 F while you enjoy the sight of the freezing sea water with icebergs sailing by. A truly unique experience!

The city museum is located in original colonial buildings in the Old Harbour. Here you can wander through history and learn about eskimo settlements, Norse ruins, art, culture and local minerals. Be sure to visit the outdoor camp with kayaks, umiaq, and eskimo huts.

The remote valley deep in the Tasermiut Fjord is blessed with the Kuusuaq river and fantastic fishing, hiking, climbing, and camping. You can also take a walk in Greenland’s only forrest and explore Norse ruins.
