Lofoten Isles

Beschrijving

Lofoten

The sight of the Lofoten isles is well known: wild and jagged peaks rising out of the blue waters, behind the colourful houses of a picturesque fishing hamlet. It is said that if the sea water would rise to the foot of the Aiguilles du Midi, one would get a characteristic view of the Lofoten peaks.

The rock material of these islands is very old, and often volcanic in origin. During the ice age, the glaciers thoroughly polished the mountains, resulting in smooth rock faces. Rock climbers love these islands. Hiking is a bit more awkward, since there are few marked trails, and only a few bunkhouses.

To get to these islands is actually not as difficult as one would think. Take the E10 from Narvik, and you will be able to drive via dams and bridges to the southernmost island. Smaller islands, like Vaerøy still further south, can only be reached by boat.
