Nusfjord
One of the best-preserved traditional fishing villages, tucked at the end of a narrow fjord. Its red fishermen's cabins, old shop and cod-processing buildings are protected as Norwegian cultural heritage.
Nusfjord lies on the south shore of Flakstadøya, about 6 km from the E10. The village preserves 19th-century rorbuer (fishermen's cabins), a cod-liver-oil factory, a blacksmith's forge and a general store dating from 1907. It is now operated as a whole as a holiday resort. Visitors pay an entrance fee of about 100 Norwegian kroner, and can stay in the restored cabins. The reflection of the harbour pier at the village entrance is a classic photo spot, best in the evening when there are fewer people.
