Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-10): Walking Where Saints and Hikers Meet

I arrived at Alkavare Chapel not quite dressed for church but more like someone who had just battled through the wilderness. The rustic sanctuary, with its dry stone walls and reindeer hair insulation, felt as much a part of nature as it did a house of worship. As we huddled together to stay warm during the service, our priest, Mogens Amstrup Jacobsen, proved to be both spiritually and practically equipped for such conditions. For those planning a visit in September, remember: bring layers as you’ll need them for this windswept pilgrimage spot.
