The 'most scenic place in Norway'
This is a top pick! ... backdrop and a gorgeous blue lagoon in the foreground. I felt really content because although I'd only covered a tiny fraction of the Lofoten Islands, at least I'd got a feel for the scenery and seen it in all its glory. Back in Å, a tiny fishing ...
MS Nordkapp to the Lofoten islands
This is a top pick! The 4 day boat trip from Bergen to the Lofoten islands was a bit of a disappointment. I'd really been looking forward to it. Even though I couldn't afford a cabin (prices started about 600 aud a night I think) I really wanted to take the trip, so decided ...
Museu do bacalhau
Com a nossa pesquisa pelas Hi Hostals para dormir, viemos dar ao museu do bacalhau, no qual ficamos hospedados no terceiro piso do mesmo. Podem se ver fotos do exterior do museu bem com pessoal a amanhar o peixe para retirar os filetes de bacalhau, que ...
Seca de peixe (bacalhau)
Ora aqui esta ele, o nosso fiel amigo, aqui vê-se pendurado mais ou menos por toda a parte destas ilhas, o belo do peixinho a secar e a deitar cá um cheirinho, do piorio. ...
ferry ride with a new tyre
... during this four hour passage. A is the southernmost village which can be accessed by car on the Lofoten chain of islands, a beautiful place withmany red wooden fishermen "rorbuer", now mostly converted into summer cabins. Plenty ...
Beautiful Lofoten, Finally living the dream!
... me. Rain aside Lofoten has been so wonderful so far, I haven’t heard anything of whale bones, despite reading the Lofoten magazine cover to cover. I have found a Viking festival and a Organic farm to visit though, they are much further up the ...
Van Moskenes naar Stø
De volgende ochtend werden we wakker met een prachtig uitzicht op Moskenes en de zee. Op de "camping" stonden nog wat enkele andere tenten maar het was erg rustig. Na het afbreken van de tent zijn we weer terug gelopen naar de parkeerplek waar onze auto ...
Norwegian Fjords & North Cape
Now both temperature and landscape change as we have entered the arctic circle to first port of call Leknes. This is a scene of wild landscape with jagged mountains and more craggy scenery. Tour around the islands is worth a visit. Town has very ...
Lovely Lofoten Isles
This was a real highlight of the trip. Never have I breathed such clear crisp air. Never have I seen such a blue sky. We were lucky to be in the Lofoten Isles in the Arctic circle with a temperature of over 70 ...
North to the (paradoxically warm) Arctic Circle
... we have ever been on for the trip up into the Arctic Circle and 24 hours of daylight. Our primary destination was the incredible Lofoten Islands (we hadn't heard of them either ) a set of rocky islands that stick up out of the Arctic sea like something ...
Fogueiras nas Lofoten
Depois de uns 400km debaixo de chuva intensa lá apareceu o sol para nos acompanhar nestes ultimos 40 km's. Ao aproximarmo-nos do destino começou-se a ver muito pessoal à volta de fogueiras bastante grandes.Talvez fogueiras de S. João (sendo dia 23/7 ...
three girls entering the Lofoten III
In A haben wir uns auch in der Jugendherberge einquatiert, die sehr viel schöner war als die in Stamsund. Der Besitzer meinte, es gibt einen schönen Wanderweg um einen nahegelegenen See, der insgesamt vielleicht zwei Stunden lang ist. Wir, fest ...
Lofoten Island - Svolvær, Moskenes, Å
... unneccessary risks on blind corners. On a positive note - there is one musuem in Å, that is worth visiting. The Lofoten Stockfish Museum which is completely devoted to the catching, drying and salting of cod for exporting as Stockfish. Interesting ...
Å:ssa ja kalastajamökissä
Heräsimme pilviseen säähän ja aamutoimien jälkeen kävimme ostamassa leirintäalueen kaupasta Lofoottien kärkiosan kartan, kirjan, vihkosen ja kasan postikortteja. Tuntuu ehkä ei-niin-järkevältä ostaa heti näin alkuvaiheessa tällaisia ...
Visita alle isole Lofoten
Oggi come previsto dedico tutta la giornata alla visita delle Lofoten. Il mio ostello si trova a pochi km da Slovær che punto di partenza strategico trovandosi praticamente all'inizio. L'idea è percorrere la strada (che fondamentalmente è una sola) ...
Day 19 - Moskenes and A
... . We went through a few villages before finally rounding a bend to the sight of A and the backdrop of the final Lofoten mountains. A truly stunning view which cannot really be described. We are not sure why some views give you that special feeling ...
Å on the Lofoten Islands
Arrived in Moskenes 2 nights ago on the ferry from Bodo. Very dramatic huge black mountains and the sun even came out for a bit! Jumped in a maxi taxi to the hostel in Å (nae chance of camping this late in the season) and went for a walk to a ...
The islet of Svinoya
Well it wasn't stormy anymore but it was bloody snowing - heavily! There was already a couple of inches of snow on the ground, in places where people hadn't walked yet and it was only 9.30am. I got up and had breakfast. I needed to go to the library to ...
Henningsvaer-the Venice of Lofoten
... were from and the said they were from the south of Norway, about 100km from the Danish border. They were just in Lofoten for the weekend, exploring. They were very friendly and I enjoyed the conversation we had. The weather had brightened up even more ...
A Swingin' Saturday!
I found my way to the school by 9.45am and there were quite a few people dancing already: about 20 people, all dancing in couples. The teacher was in the middle of the floor, with one of the women dancers, showing everybody how to do a step. This dancing ...
Winter Panorama tour

Descubriendo las islas del Sur de Lofoten
... 'amos ni teníamos ya tiempo para poder hacerlo, pero es otra de esas cosas que seguro que haré si algún día vuelvo a Lofoten (que volveré...). Después del crucero volvemos a ver Hamnoy y sus alrededores, con los secaderos de bacalao al lado de la ...
Not bored in the Fjords!
... rock wall! At 6pm we were arriving at Svolvear. From here we headed out on our second excursion which was a tour of the Lofoten Islands. Our bus took us inland to Henningsvear which was a small fishing town set in between large mountains. The scenery here ...
Making the best of the bad weather
... Svolvaer, offers the best views of the Lofoten Wall, the line of mountains that stretch nearly the whole length of the Lofoten Islands(apparently!) It has some great beaches so I've heard and offers some great opportunities when it comes to photography, ...
Oooh heaven is a place on earth...
I woke up quite early and looked out of my window at the breathtaking view that lay before me. The turquoise water was still and fluffy white clouds rested on the peaks of the mountains which dominated the scene. I decided that day to take a ferry down a ...
Where’s that light?!
... of life. There were volunteers from all over the Europe: Poland, France, Spain, Serbia, Russsia, Germany, and one from Norway. Boys and girls of age 16 to 28. All of them friendly, funny, full of life, many different, interesting personalities. ...
Les Lofoten
... drôles Beau claret dont ma coupe d'argent est pleine. Des histoires plus charmantes et moins folles ; Laisse-moi tranquille avec ton Lofoten. Il fait bon. Dans le foyer doucement traine La voix du plus mélancolique des mois. - Ah! les morts, ...
Have no idea where we were today
We visited the Viking museum. Quite an insight to how the vikings lived hundreds of years ago. In the afternoon we were transferred to the Hadsel Rotary Club for transport to Sortland and our accomodations for the next 4 days at the Coast Guard Station. ...
