    Lofoten - Nusfjord

    September 19, 2021 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    If one thing on this island did not get enough hype it was Nusfjord. We had scratched our heads at the mentioned entrance fee to walk and see the town - but if €10 were ever worth it, it was here. Nusfjord is the oldest and best preserved fishing town of Norway. Archeologists found proof that as early as 400 people had settled here to fish. In 1870 the Dahl family started the commercial fishing and launched the rise of the town to produce enough fish to fill the 23‘000 drying racks.
    Today the town is preserved and returned to its old touch with a General store, the Landhandel serving Waffles and Salmon Sandwiches. Both of these we can highly recommend 👌🏽

    Waffeln und Lachssandwich im Country Store (Landhandel) - großartig! Mit Blick auf den Hafen.
