Lofoten
|
 |
Lofoten is an archipelago North of the Polar Circle, it reaches 200 km out in the ocean.
The change of weather is quick - from calm and clear weather to powerful storms and snow.
The strongest northern lights of the northern hemisphere can be seen over Lofoten from May 27 to July 15. |
Along the well known Lofot-wall, we'll find strong
maelstroms. The most famous is called Moskenes-straumen, probably the strongest in the world. With the speed of 6 knots it is known throughout the borders of Norway. For thousands of
years, sailors have feared this maelstrom, and many myths and legends have been told about it.
Lofoten is one of the most beautiful areas Norway has to show. The islands lies like pearls on a string, and the nature creates great contrasts for the eye to see. On the islands we find cosy bays and untouched nature. All in all, this creates an unforgettable and magical memory - something to save and think about when you feel stressed out. It is also relative easy to travel to Lofoten, SAS and Widerøe takes you
there. |

Do you know anybody who has seen the sea eagle with a wing span of 2 meters or more? Important to mention is the fact that Nordland has the biggest population of sea eagles in the world. Also something to remember is the rapid change of weather, so bring clothes for all kinds of weather.

In the winter you can participate in the famous Lofotfiske. When you have been working hard on the boat all day, it is really tasty with fresh soup called "Skreimølje", and other exciting local dishes from the sea. If you get enough of the maritime activities, Lofoten has good opportunities to go skiing. Another famous, and most certainly, beautiful experience, is the northern lights - magical and enchanting. Lofoten is clearly a good alternative for having an memorable and active experience in the winter.
