Walking to Å, the End of Lofoten

From Møskenes, we loaded up our packs and hit the road, heading south. This stretch took us past the fishing villages of Sørvågen and Tind, before we walked into Å. This walk wore us out and we were happy to have lunch and enjoy the view from our seaside hostel room.

We wandered around the tiny village a bit, which consists of a restaurant, a number of rorbuer (seaside fisherman's huts), and a couple museums, which we plan to check out tomorrow. The entire village smells like stockfish, which we will tell you more about in another post.

Since it stays light out late, we headed out at 7pm for an evening hike around Lake Ågvatnet. The meandering trail took us through marshes, over a couple small creek crossings, as well as up some chain-assisted rock climbs. The views all around the lake were stunning (see pic) and the 5-miler was enough to stir up an appetite before a late dinner back at the hostel. That should bring us up to the present and we'll update again when we can.
