Starting in Stamsund, this excursion will take you on a tour of Kabelvåg, one of Lofoten’s oldest fishing villages. Our first stop though is Torvdalshalsen, a rest stop with a gorgeous view across the fjord. We’ll continue on to Kabelvåg, where the commercial part of the Lofoten fishing industry started, more than 1000 years ago.
Here, we’ll visit Galleri Espolin, which has the largest collection of the work of beloved artist Kaare Espolin Johnson. Close to the gallery lies the Lofoten Museum, where you can find out about local fishing history.
Kabelvåg may have started as the medieval town Vågar. In the centre of the village, you’ll find the main building dates back to 1815, along with Vågan Church, also known as the Lofoten Cathedral. The church was built in 1898 in the Gothic Revival style; and is one of Norway’s largest churches.
