Lofoten Impressions & Local Artists

Lofoten Impressions & Local Artists

Travel along Lofoten’s untamed islands with rare wilderness, majestic mountains, deep fjords and surf swept beaches. Along the way, stop at Flakstad Church and visit local artists who will demonstrate their talent and share stories of their
inspirations for their artwork. Leaving Reine you will venture across scenic landscapes to Sund, and visit the Fishery Museum and a blacksmith who is known for his beautiful cormorants made of steel. The decorative wrought iron cormorants are famous all over the world, and can be found in the Pentagon, the Kremlin and in the King of Norway's palace. Here you will also find a collection of boats, many originally used in fishing operations during the former years of the great Lofoten Fishery. Take a peek in the fisherman’s cabin, which contains a wide range of domestic utensils, tools and other objects used in the fisherman’s home. As you travel further witness the majestic mountain peaks and the large swaths of fertile land that served as the stage of Viking history. Arriving in Flakstad, visit one of the oldest churches in Lofoten dating back to 1780. The church was built from Russian timber because of the Pomor Trade, which was a bartering agreement involving stockfish. The building itself is inspired by the Russian churches and their architectural style from the 18th century. In the middle of Lofoten, between steep mountains facing the open sea, visit the glassblower’s studio in Vikten. In 1976 Åsvar Tangrand was the first person in Northern Norway work with glassblowing. At his studio called the Glass Hut, you will witness the glass blower form a non-descript globe of material into a beautiful work of art. Survey the unique glass works on display or relax in the Glass Hut’s lounge to admire another impressive work of art - nature’s views of the beach and ocean.

Notes: It is recommended to dress in layered clothing and wear comfortable walking shoes. Walking involves approximately 1 km of optional walking on some uneven ground with gradual slopes. Comfort stop available at the Fishery Museum & Glass hut.
