For the mountain in Bergen municipality, see Veten.

The inner and outer parts of the Eidsfjorden seen from Veten. Parts of the "kommuner" in Vesterålen can be seen on the picture, the clearest one being Øksnes.

Part of Veten seen from Kallsnes. The main peak lies behind this part (not to be confused with the "white" mountain in the back).

Veten is a peak in the southeastern part of Langøya in Hadsel municipality. It rises up about 382 meters and is among the most visited peaks in all of Ytre Eidsfjord. It has a little "shelter" at the top, with a view over most parts of Vesterålen except Andøy. It's situated between Kvalsøyfjellet and Hallartinden, in a small group of two mountains, Fleinneskollen and Hesthammaren. The paths that walk up to the peak are well-marked, but only one has a sign showing up.

The name Veten comes from an old Norse word, "viti" which is a common term of "varselbål" and "signalbål", big campfires, Phryctorias, that are lit as warnings.
