The trip itself, wherever you go in Lofoten, is always full of great views

Crossing from one island to another, always part of driving here

Getting there in winter conditions was a bit tricky, the place is a bit hidden

Arrived. Closed for the winter, but not needed this time

Pure ice in other sections. The last days have been cold 🥶

...has quite a different touch in the summer.

The view south brings warm hopeful light

...while the look north (500m from above) looks dark and mystic

Day 4 Lofoten / Hauckland Stranda

December 30, 2023 in Norway ⋅ ⛅ -3 °C

Our trip to a known and loved place from the summer 2022 - Haukland Stranda. Not quite the weather for a swim this time, but still a breathtaking place, a bit hidden, and with great views. We were here to also see whether or not we get a good shot for northern lights at Uttakleiv Beach, which is „next door“ though a tunnel, facing partially north and with very little light surrounding.
We had a great trip including time at the beach, drone flying for the kids, and a lot of ice to play with. Knut had fun running around as well.
The hunt for northern lights was not successful in the end, but a quick stop in Leknes around the corner and a dinner at home, cooked with the kids rounded up the day.Read more
