ABOUT THE HIKE
In May 2022 I hiked 65-km on the South Loch Ness Trail in the highlands along the majestic Loch in Scotland. Trails were easy, but extremely quite.
I started my hike in Fort Augustus, where I hiked up to Loch Tarff, then down crossing the B862 where I found a quiet camping spot in an old forest along the creek. The second day I followed the route towards Whitebridge and Foyers. The section from Foyers to Inverfarigaig is a beautiful wild trail through the forest, but with limited views of the Loch. From Inverfarigaig there is a long climb on the backside of the hills towards Fair Haired Lad's Pass, the true highlight of the trail with views of almost the entire length of the Loch. The section downhill from the pass towards the Loch shore is beautiful, with great views of the Loch, and thru forested sections. At reaching the Loch, I pitched my tent on the Loch's shore. The third day I followed the Loch banks to Dores, then continued the last section over the ridge (without views of the Loch) to the end of the trail just outside Inverness.

Lol I'm reading and watching you thru you'll be hearing of me) I think you got it all figured out boy
Just a short note to let you know that the videos you produce are some of the most exquisite productions on RUclips. They truly are spellbinding, and are the only videos, bar a small handful in this genre, that I have repeatedly watched. Please continue to do what you do, these are a gift to the world.
Truly agreed 💯%
Great film as always. Glad to see Nessie made an appearance at 9:21 😄
HE DID?! :O
(';
was looking for this comment hahaha wondering how many caught it. Great vid!
Amazing work! Thank you for showing the beauty of our planet.
Glad you enjoyed it!
For in his hand are the depths of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
The sea is his, for he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.
Ok, I've seen most of your videos now and I felt pretty quickly that they are the best backpacking videos on RUclips. The images that you capture really seem to have deep purpose. This one in particular though is an extra special work of art, even for this channel. The framing of the shots and the creativity with angles is superb. This is the only channel that I am just as excited to analyze and enjoy the cinematography as I am about the hike itself. There are always several shots per video where I honestly can't figure out how you filmed them! Your choices of location are very cool too. You seem to stay off the beaten path and don't hike the same things that everyone seems to be doing. I really enjoy your videos, they are fantastic. Enjoy your future hikes 👍
Thanks for the kind words! :) I always love hearing when people try to figure how I did certain shots. Happy to explain them if you're interested!
Wah, so quiet and tranquility

So peaceful and beautiful. Another great video of your adventure, calming but adventurous at the same time. Makes me wanna go on a hiking trip to Scotland right now. Have a wonderful weekend Harmen.
Thank you Mario! Enjoy your weekend too!
@@HarmenHoek merci!
@@HarmenHoek Beautifully filmed and edited! Thanks. I'm from that area, you've done a great job. Love your tent, what make/ model is it please? Currently perusing options for bikepacking! Cheers 👍
The best way to start the morning is to immerse myself in a Harmen Houk film!
Hahaha, thanks man
Psalms 95,4-5: The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his. The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands. // Very good verses and film!
Thanks!
can’t stop the watching calming but powerful messages. Thanks and respecting!!
Love the subtle shot of nessie's neck in the fog. That was a fantastic touch! Keep it up!
What a gift! Thank you, Harmen!
Thank you, Ivan!
Always Amazing Film.
Thank you!
Scotland is one of my favorite country, maybe the first one, loch Ness, loch Lomond, Ben Nevis, sky…… so many wonderful places……👌A piece of my heat stand there ……
I walked this route back in 1976. I camped along the way as 52 miles is too far in one day. Best to go in spring as you get wild 'blie' berries (Scottish Blue berries) and wild mushrooms. In 1977 I bought a bike and cycled the route which is much better. Though I recommend stopping for the night as that is part of the fun.
There are your hiking videos then there’s everyone else’s. Next level as usual.
I love every time I watch your videos is like watching a documentary/film, but not a typical RUclips video. The music and the views of Loch Ness are beautiful. Great work!
Absolutely loved that there was no small talk, or narration. Just pure peace. Subscribed!
Those adventure food bags are delicious!

Wow what a surprise
Gald to watch your video after

I live a 5 minute walk from the south trail sign at the end . Lovely video 👍
Did anyone else notice the huge flock of birds way in the distance @9:19? Pretty cool!
Harmen, your videos are intoxicating! Your photography talent is evident in every single picture and video shot. They are stunning and relaxing. You are beautiful both mentally and physically. You seem to have a gentle, honest spirit about you. You can actually see you breathing in nature and its surroundings. Thank you for sharing with all of us that are not able to experience the wonders of the world otherwise.
Thank you David! Appreciate your comment.
Bedankt
Jij ook!
Superbe comme toujours et si calme !

Beautiful as always!
Thank you! 😊
Always a peacefull time with your films. Definitely inspiring. Simplicity needs no word with your images.
I really liked this video, an amazing hike. The views are stunning!😀
Having a bad day. This video is just exactly what I needed to see during a quick break.
Happy to hear that. Thanks a lot.
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing your adventure! Cheers!
"In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land." Love the quote from the Psalms as much as the sumptuous video itself. Your cinematography and choice of location are superb. Absolutely my favorite travel channel on RUclips. Thank you!
What a delight! You render your walk with such artistry: the choice of details and of shooting angles bring it all so freshly to us - we can all nearly taste your black coffee. "The deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills" indeed.
Thanks, your comment is a delight too (:
Watch this with a cup of coffee so relaxing at night ♥️
Sounds great! Enjoy!
Absolutely amazing scenes
I enjoyed very much watching your relaxing video
Beautiful work and walk. Can't wait to see your new adventure!!
Amazing camera work Harmen! Can’t believe you got the Loch Ness Monster on video haha. I loved that, can’t wait to see your next adventure!! 😄
Thanks so much!!
Lovely! Enjoying it with you. Assume you did not see Nessie? Solo hiking - if you get it, you get it.

Art, pure art.

Beautiful 🏴
Hello friend, I really appreciate that you share your videos on RUclips. I really like the Psalm that you leave at the end of the video, it is incredible to see and recognize the love and power of God through creation. That is a very beautiful place and although I have not been able to visit it I am very grateful that you have shared it here. I am always aware of your videos, and when you will release a new one, an extraordinary surprising work. Thank you very much. I like outdoor excursions too, I love God and his creation, nature. God bless you very much and prosper your work are very blessed.
Thank you for the comment. It's the beautiful creation of the Creator.
Thanks for the details & capturing the beauty! Very nice~~ Enjoyed it very much!!
Watching this after some great days in Scotland ❤
absolutely lovely.
So amazing yet again !
Love it!
So cool-- absolutely amazing footage. Great work!! Glad everything went well and you were able to get this on video for all of us. Thank you.

That was so fantastic ❤
As always, a very well thought through travel expedition film. A joy to watch and an inspiration, keep doing what you do best 👍
So well done. This is just perfect. I watched it twice within the same day and I'll watch it again. The way you orchestrated the pieces together is excellent. I look forward to seeing more of this. It took me to older times when I used to hike solo in Ireland.
As all your previous videos: gorgeous. Drone views, timelapse, shooting angles make us feel you're not alone, but with a whole team filming you.
OK Nessie is missing, maybe you could go back there to make another video, your fans will love it as Scotland is so beautiful ❤️
9:20 ^^
wonderful
With this kind of hiking, the exotic corner of Loch Ness is more beautifully exposed. Amazing videos!
Appreciated!
Another trip added to the bucket list. Thanks for the inspiration. Great video. Good work :)
Nice
Thank you for this. Great video!
Wow, man, amazing films on all sides. From cinematography to feel and rhythm. I really appreciate your work and inspires me to go for hike in the same places. All what I respect for is at the end you have placed psalms 95:4-5. It's really our Lord hands created all this beauty. You literally filming his creation. When I was watching I was saying between myself how great is our God and suddenly the verse pops on screen at the end. I really felt a Joy in my heart
God bless you man. 🙏
We love your channel, please always keep the videos coming!
Just lovely. Peaceful and beautifully shot - thank you!
This is such an incredibly good film of Loch Ness. It’s beautiful and evocative and insightful. You manage to be original in your filming of the loch and to show its different aspects so skilfully. Finding your channel and watching your films has been wonderful.
Wieder ein wunderschönes, harmonisch abgestimmtes Video. Klasse
Danke sehr!
Thanks Harmen. just what I needed
Great to hear!

You're the best!
Thank you once again Harmen, another exquisite production!!
Excellent video as usual Harmen. Love the sound mixing in this. Recognised the first bit of music from a Kraig Adam’s video. Excellent vibes!
Thanks!
That was magnificent 🤩 Thank you very much!
Thank you too!
Thank you for this visual masterpiece, Harmen. Wonderful balance between drone sections, and small details of the nature. Lovely green forests and fields, the huge lake. I loved every second 🙂
Many thanks! Glad you liked it, and thanks for the comment.
Absolutely awesome! I love your work. Please make many more!
Thank you! Will do!
Nice🌿
Hey Harmen!
Thanks much for another interesting video, great camera work!
Glory to the Maker of Loch Ness!
It was a great therapy. Thank you, Harmen!
Awesome! Thanks!
Hi. I believe that every second in this place feeds the body and soul. This place is wonderful with beaches and lots of vegetation. Thanks Harmen for another great video. Looking forward to watching the next one 🙌🏼
Incredible video. Thank you, Harmen.
Much appreciated!
Simply a fantastic video. I really enjoyed it.
Amazing video, Harmen......love your work!
Beautiful and relaxing spring time hike.
It really is!
Another truly stunning video. Thank you for making them, they are a pleasure to watch.
Thank you very much!
Great hiking. I hope when you return, 20-30 years from now, you give your thoughts on how climate change effects this beautiful place. That same thought goes for all your hiking, when you return, decades later, you give your thoughts on how things have changed, or not.
5:55. spectacular shot drone vista
6:39 coffee selfie, excellent facial photo
Oh yes, it’s hard to see those changes when you go many different places (and yet you see the changes even then). Thanks for the comment
