That said, for hiking enthusiasts, stopping at the Queen Village is essential. It is the starting point of the Reinebringen Hike. The ascent to the summit is via a staircase with nearly 1,600 steps, allowing hikers to climb to the top to admire the view. In Reine, tourists can also take a boat to the Bunes Beach. A unique sight awaits them when they arrive: emerald green water, a view of the fjords, a vast beach. Some may want to go to Sakrisoy, a tiny island at the foot of Olstind near Reine. It's a beautiful place, and some may recognize the famous Oldstind Cabin, a small orange house that has made this place famous on social media.
A little further on, Utakleiv is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Lofoten Islands. In addition to the white sand and turquoise water, this beach is surrounded by mountains and meadows, offering a multitude of landscapes. For bivouac enthusiasts, Kvalvika is another beach where they can spend the night and have an incredible experience.
For photography lovers, the Fredvang Bridges are a must-see. They connect the fishing village of Fredvang on Moskenesoya's island with Flakstadoya's island, making it the perfect place to take exceptional photographs. Travelers can also stop at Nusfjord, one of the best-preserved fishing villages in the region. They will discover red and yellow rorbuer trees installed around a small port and beautiful traditional buildings. ◄
