Nusfjord (2018 Edition)

Nusfjord is a tranquil fishing village in Lofoten, an island chain in northern Norway. 50 years ago there was a lot going on when the cod came to spawn. Today the place has less than 100 inhabitants and presents itself as a museum village. If you realize that you pay admission just to see the houses, you can imagine how picturesque it is there. Cruise ships travel along the coasts of the elongated, largely deserted island world.

But travel back in time and sailing ships dominated the fjord. The rocks around Nusfjord were still overgrown with trees. The wood went, the beauty of the landscape remained. Visit the heyday of Nusfjord’s maritime commerce and expansion and success may be yours!
