Norwegian Fishing Village Museum Å. An extensive fishing village museum displaying 150-year-old coastal buildings and their surroundings. With a stockfish museum. Everything is very informative, there's a lot to see, and guided tours are also available. The visit was worthwhile for us, but time was limited.

Håheia (or Håen) is the second highest peak on Værøy. It makes for a great objective that's suitable for the whole family. The panoramas on the hike are magical, with great views towards the village of Sørland, the abandoned settlement of Måstad and the peak of Måhornet.

At 438 m, the Hæen offers a beautiful view of the bay to the abandoned village of Måstad, the azure beach of Puinn Sand and, on the other side of the mountain, to Slettstranda.

A boathouse, post office, old shop, bakery, fisherman's house, fish oil factory and a blacksmith's shop, many objects, information boards and a few short documentary videos show the history of Norwegian fishing. Tickets cost NOK 120 (=€10) for an adult. Definitely worth it. But even without access to those buildings, a walk through Å is a pleasure for the eyes. So many great photo opportunities.

No special skills required.

When I'm on holiday in Norway, I'm not necessarily drawn to museums, but here in Å the museum is the historic town centre and you get access to the old houses around the harbour. The exhibitions are not highly professional, but very lovingly and authentically designed. Cod liver oil is not only talked about, you can also try it. Just like painting with the typical Norwegian red wall paint, which is also based on fish oil. The bakery has deliciously fresh cinnamon rolls and sometimes there's even a fire in the forge. With a picnic on the tables by the harbour and a view of the nesting seagulls, the museum fits in wonderfully with my holiday in Norway.

Å is the southernmost place in Lofoten. You can walk further south, but the roads end here. From the parking lot it is only a few meters down to the water and the steep rocks. However, camping is not allowed here and dozens of signs underline this. It's nice to take a short walk along the harbor and then you can move on. From the ferry in Moskenes it's around five kilometers to Å, but it's worth it. There is also a small museum in town about the dried fish that Lofoten is so famous for, and Å will give you a feel for this beautiful island chain.
