Værøy - En perle i Lofoten

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Wir feiern den vierten Geburtstag von Enkelkind Minna standesgemäß am Ende der Welt. Naja, zumindest ist es fast das westliche Ende der Lofoten. Værøy Ist klein, hat aber eine ehemalige Flugzeuglandebahn, auf der man schön übernachten kann. Der Blick ins weite Nordmeer verrät: Die nächste große Insel ist Grönland und nach Westen hin erreicht man, nachdem die äußeren Hybriden gestreift wurden, Panama.

Kein Autolärm, keine Hektik, Menschenleere - nur das Rauschen der Wellen und das Klackern der Steine am Strand. Værøy Ist was für Menschen, die mal abschalten wollen. Also gut für uns. Wir kommen wieder.
🇳🇴🥰

Noen befaringer sitter litt ekstra🌸

Befaringen jeg hadde til Røst og Værøy har nok vært årets høydepunkt. Nydelig vær og flott natur, og ikke minst en fantastisk artig tur takket være @hildegunnpettersen ☀️🩷

Everyone comes to Værøy for the famous view.
But the island gets much more interesting once you stop looking for it.

A few places worth finding:
1. The old Værøy Airport ✈️
No longer operating, which makes it even better. Dramatic landscapes, a gate with a wooden bench, a runway you can walk (or run) along, and wild geese casually taking over the place.
P.S. There is a sauna nearby overlooking the ocean. 😉

2. Værøy Old Church ⛪️
The oldest church in Lofoten, quietly sitting between the mountains and the sea.

3. The white sand beach (like in Maldives)
Turquoise water, white sand and completely unbothered, slightly existential looking birds. They know something we do not 🤷🏻‍♀️

4. The old museum area ⛽️
An old Esso petrol pump, a preserved shop still filled with products from another time, an old pharmacy and even the crane once used to unload goods from boats.

5. Håen hike 🥾(suited for all family)
One of those views that makes Værøy feel almost unreal. Follow the trails along the ridge and you can continue towards Hornet (red track🔴).

6. The beach with dragon eggs 🐉
Technically, giant rounded stones. But “dragon eggs” feels more accurate.

7. The elephant or mammoth in mountain 🐘 if you stand with your back to the ferry. Once you see the head, you cannot unsee it. #pareidolia

8. Not pictured, but worth knowing 🚗
There is a private collection of vintage American cars on the island. You can peek from outside… or be brave, knock and ask if you can see more. 😉

And one VERY important Værøy warning:

☕️ Regular coffee.

If you cannot survive a day without a cappuccino or latte, consider yourself warned. 😅

Save this for when you decide to go a little further than the Lofoten everyone knows. 📍

Værøy, a little island under the Lofoten.

We came here to walk hean, sadly we couldn’t reach the highest point due to strong winds and low clouds.

Was stil amazing to do, and although they aren’t as good, I still love the pictures!

‘The View Before the Mission’

The day started with this spectacular view on the Måstadstien trail — towering mountains that seem to shoot straight out of the sea.

This was supposed to be an easy little recovery hike. The plan was simple: walk out to a point, hopefully find some puffins (those ever-elusive puffins that I still haven’t managed to properly see 🤦‍♀️), and head back.

It did not go to plan. 😂

What followed was a full-on mission over massive boulders, slippery rocks and some seriously uneven terrain.

We eventually made it to the end... only to find two puffins sitting so far out at sea that we could barely see them. 🤣

So, no puffin photos to show for the mission — but at least the day started with a pretty spectacular view.

🐧 🥾 🤦‍♀️ 🇳🇴

‘The Fog Rolls In’

The weather on Værøy had a mind of its own.

One minute the mountains were completely visible, and the next, the fog started rolling over the peaks and slowly making its way down towards the town.

It was one of those moments where the landscape completely changed right in front of us. The mountains disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again as the clouds moved through.

I love how quickly the weather can transform a landscape like this. What could have been just another mountain view suddenly became something completely different. 🤍

Another little moment from Værøy that was too good not to photograph.

📍Værøy, Lofoty 🇳🇴

Uwierzycie, że tyle piękna kryje się na zaledwie 17,6 km kwadratowych 🩵

Værøy to pierwsza wyspa, którą odwiedziliśmy podczas naszej podróży po Lofotach. Można się tu dostać wyłącznie promem z Bodø lub Moskenes. Co ciekawe, aby zachęcić turystów do odwiedzenia tej niewielkiej wyspy, przeprawy promowe na Værøy są bezpłatne. Dzięki temu można sporo zaoszczędzić w porównaniu z rejsem bezpośrednio na trasie Bodø-Moskenes.

Spędziliśmy tu dwa dni, doświadczając niemal całego przekroju norweskiej pogody. Słońce, deszcz, wiatr i mgła, a mimo to za każdym zakrętem czekały widoki, które odbierały mowę.

Jeśli planujecie podróż na Lofoty, koniecznie weźcie tę niepozorną wyspę pod uwagę. Naszym zdaniem to idealna rozgrzewka przed tym, co czeka na głównych wyspach archipelagu 🤍

Dajcie znać, czy zdjęcia zachęciły Was do dodania wyspy Værøy do swojej listy miejsc do odwiedzenia! 🇳🇴🌊

Værøy is a secluded Arctic gem nestled at the very edge of the Lofoten archipelago, offering an escape to untouched nature and profound tranquility. This wild and rugged island, where majestic mountains cascade into crystal-clear turquoise waters, feels like the edge of the world itself!
