Reinehalsen
About
On Lofoten, Reinehalsen sits at 8390 Reine, Norway, a viewpoint above one of the archipelago's best-known villages. It is known for the panorama it opens over the surrounding peaks, water and the scattered islets that define this stretch of the coast. First-time visitors should expect a short climb to a viewing point rather than a developed attraction with facilities.
A rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 28 reviews places it among the higher-scoring stops on the islands. Svolvær, Leknes, Å, Reine, Henningsvær, Kabelvåg, Ballstad and Stamsund all sit within the archipelago's road network, so reaching the trailhead from the main settlements is manageable by car. The website at nasjonaleturistveger.no lists it among the Lofoten scenic routes.
Northern Scandinavian islands have midnight sun in summer and polar night in winter, so the light at the viewpoint changes dramatically depending on when you come. Scandinavian islands are largely glacially shaped, with rocky skerries, moraine ridges and thin soils, which is exactly the terrain the path crosses.
Norwegian is the language of the islands, and English is widely understood, so asking for directions is rarely a problem. Ferries and road links connect the archipelago's settlements, though distances between them are longer than they look on a map, so allow time for the drive.
