... Amazing sunrise of one of Norway’s most famous and photographed fishing villages... a beautiful picturesque place surrounded by steep mountains shooting out of the fjord Reinefjorden, sea, small islands, inlets, and fjords.... it consists of several small islands, all connected by bridges... and it is the perfect place to stay at a traditional (now renovated and modernized) fishermen’s cabin, called rorbuer... there are also several popular hikes around Reine... Heel Erg Bedankt Gerlinde voor deze leuke verrrassing! (✿ ♥‿♥)
Moskenes is the name of the southernmost island in Lofoten located just 200 km from the Arctic Circle.The waters around Moskenes are ideal deep-sea fishing territory, hundreds of cod weighing more than 30kg are caught every year. Reine is the administrative centre of Moskenes Municipality in Nordland county.
It owes its name "Lofoten" to its form, that of the footprint of a lynx.The name of Lofoten originated from the shape of one of the islands. If seen from above, it reminded of a lynx’s paw. In ancient Scandinavian language “ló” means lynx and “fót” means “foot”, hence we get “lofot”. Through time, the entire archipelago was called under the name of Lofoten.
