MOSKENES
Moskenes Camping
CAMPGROUND
( 99 48 94 05; tent/caravan site Nkr120/200; May-Aug)
In a bleak location yet
with great waterside views, Moskenes' only campground is gravel surfaced yet also has a
sheltered grassy area for tent campers. Facilities are continually being upgraded (the own-
er's a carpenter) and it couldn't be more convenient for an early getaway from the ferry
terminal, only 400m away.
REINE
Reine is a characterless place but gosh, it looks splendid from above, beside its placid la-
goon and backed by the sheer rock face of Reinebringen. You get a great view from the
head of the road that drops to the village from the E10.
From June to mid-August, three-hour boat trips are run by
Aqua Lofoten
(

;
adult/child Nkr550/400)
to the bird- and fish-rich Moskstrau-
men maelstrom.
AROUND REINE
In summer, the
M/S Fjordskyss (
www.reinefjorden.no
,
in Norwegian; adult/child re-
turn Nkr120/60; 25min; 3 daily)
runs between Reine and Vindstad through scenic Reine-
fjord. From Vindstad, it's a one-hour hike across the ridge to the abandoned beachside set-
tlement of
Bunes
, in the shadow of the brooding 610m Helvetestind rock slab.
