Hanshelleren Cave, Sport climbing area in Flatanger, Norway.
Hanshelleren Cave is a sport climbing area featuring limestone walls that rise over 40 meters high with many routes of varying difficulty. The cave offers space for different skill levels and is used by both newcomers and experienced climbers.
Archaeological excavations show that early inhabitants used the cave as shelter during prehistoric times. This ancient use by people from the Trøndelag region points to the site's long-standing importance.
Climbers from around the world gather here to share their skills and work together on establishing new routes throughout the year. This international community has made the cave a meeting place for people united by their passion for the sport.
Visitors should bring an 80-meter rope and contact the local landowner before visiting to ensure access. A marked path takes about 20 minutes to reach the cave from Strom.
One of the most notable routes here is "Change", which stretches two-thirds toward the overhang and stands as one of Scandinavia's most technical climbing challenges. This route serves as a special test of skills for many climbers.
