TOURIST INFORMATION
( 454 92 186; mid-Jun-mid-Aug)
Røst's tourist office is a short walk from the ferry dock.
Getting There & Away
There are flights to/from both Bodø and Leknes. Røst, like Værøy, is served by the car
ferry that runs between Bodø (passenger/car Nkr203/736) and Moskenes (passenger/car
Nkr142/507).
VESTERÅLEN
Although the landscapes here aren't as dramatic as those in Lofoten, they tend to be much
wilder and the forested mountainous regions of the island of Hinnøya are a unique corner
of Norway's largely treeless northern coast.
An Encounter with Vesterålen - Culture, Nature & History
(Nkr170), sold at tourist of-
fices, gives a good introduction to the region, its sights and walking routes.
Hadseløya
Pop 7950
Vesterålen's link to Lofoten is the southernmost island of Hadseløya, connected by ferry
from the port of Melbu to Fiskebøl on Lofoten's Austvågøy. The other main town, Stok-
marknes, is best known as the birthplace of the Hurtigruten coastal ferry.
