ROUTE: RORBU, FJORDS AND CODS
SOME HINTS ON THE ISLANDS MOSKENES
NUSFJORD
Moskenes is located in the untamed, western part of the Lofoten Islands and is well-known for its, well-preserved architectural environment. Glaciers have sculpted the island landscape, which is among the wildest and most interesting that Norway can offer. You will sail on the famous Moskstrømmen, one of the world's strongest tidal currents and see the beautiful fishermen’s cabins (Rorbu).
The fishing village of Nusfjord is famous and unique for its building landscape, which evolved at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The building complex has survived as a homogenous unit, with the old bakery and the sawmill, unscathed by elements of modern architecture.
“Un esperienza indimenticabile, in un arcipelago dove il tempo si è fermato e il This small village (originally a farm), surrounded sole splende all’infinito.” Å
by an amazing fjord, is the typical fishing spot with cosy fishermen's cabins (Rorbu), the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum and stockfish racks.
