I will try to explain what hildringstimen means, although I have never heard of this phenomenen and it is quite complicated.
Hildringstimen is a word made of hildring and timen.
"timen" is "the hour"
Hildring is an unusual phenomenon when mountains or islands seems closer than they really are, or you can see them, although you normally cannot because it is not visible (not in the horizon). This happens when warm air meets the cold sea. The air is cooled down and the light moves with faster speeds in this layer of cold air, so that the light is bent towards the earth. This happens especially in polar areas.
So hildringstimen is the hour of hildring, when the "hildring" happens.

Hildringstimen.no is a site for traditional sailboats. The owner of the site has a boat named "Hildringstimen"
He also has a project called "Kulturnaustet". It is a traditional house where tourists and schoolchildren (++) can experience local traditions and foods based on northern-norwegian traditions.
SO! The smalahove-feast is served at Stornaustet in Vidrek: http://stornaustet.no/data/bilder/1/thumbs/H1024_Vargen%20-%20til%20nett.jpg
Vidrek is located not far from Narvik :)

Well, if Nat's really afraid of going off a bridge that might explain why she & Kat went for the Fast-Forward. And if that's the case, then we know that the Roadblock is ahead of the Detour.
