About this film
Lea and her travel partner arrive by ferry from Bodø at Moskenes, on Moskenesøy, and begin exploring the islands. The episode belongs to a journey described as covering 12,000 kilometres across Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The trip took place between July and September 2020. Alongside the motorcycle travel, the film features places to stay, eat and explore, including traditional rorbuer, former fishing huts used as holiday accommodation.
The journey
From Moskenes, the pair ride to Å, the southernmost village on the island, before staying at Eliassen Rorbuer and dining at Holmen Restaurant. The following day’s route crosses the Fredvang bridges and continues to Nusfjord, where the restored fishing village is a main stop. In Henningsvær, the travellers visit art boutiques and see the village’s football field on its own island. The day ends in Svolvær. The description also frames Lofoten through its mountain scenery, fjords, beaches, fishing towns and roads.
