We will advance to Henningsvær where we will stay for the night in a typical Norwegian lodging.
DAY 4:
SOUTH LOFOTEN (Hamnoy, Reine and Å)
Today we will set off to discover the southern islands: Hamnøy, Reine and the village of Å. We will explore Hamnøy, one of the oldest fishing villages in the entire archipelago. We will arrive in Reine, nestled between the Norwegian fjords, one of the most photographed and characteristic villages. We will then continue to the village of Å, in the Lofoten Islands. We will take a tour of the beauties of this fishing village, where we will find the typical wooden buildings on which the stockfish are hung to dry in the air. Along the way during the day we will pause to admire Rambergstranda beach, characterized by fine, white sand...almost Caribbean! The island of Flakstadøya will amaze us with its rocky reliefs that plunge into the fjord. Return to our accommodation for the evening, free dinner and overnight.
** If the weather permits, we can go on a medium-difficulty trek to admire the islands from above
DAY 5:
LOFOTEN NORTH (Svolvær, Bøstad & Henningsvaer)
Today we have a day full of incredible landscapes! We will move further north, discovering all the most scenic points of the islands. We will travel by car along the E10, one of the most amazing feats of engineering ever built. Inserted among the list of the most beautiful panoramic roads in the world, we will cross it while remaining breathless on the multiple connecting bridges. We will stop in Svolvær, the main town of Lofoten, where we will see the famous Fiskerkona, "the fisherman's wife", a bronze lighthouse in which a woman is represented. Just before the bronze sculpture, we will also be able to visit WWII bunkers on the island of Kuba. An obligatory stop will be the "Lofotr Vikingmuseum in Bøstad", an interactive museum that will lead us to discover how they lived and what they ate in the ancient land of the Vikings. After tasting the delicious and very old Njord soup, we will get back on the road to return to Henningsvaer, known as the "little Venice of Lofoten", the largest and most active fishing center in the region, with the most special football stadium in the world. Return to our accommodation for the evening, free dinner and overnight.
