This is probably the most beautiful place I ever have been to. We did our visit early in June; almost no people and extremely pleasant weather (that means a lot). Very service minded staff has a lot of information to tell about this place. Don't forget to enter the old shop at the beach.Coast life around the Mediterranean is nothing compared to this white beaches and the crystal clear green water. Except bathing of course :)
It is a kind of museum but also a place where you are allowed to stay and swim. We were there at the perfect moment: it was very hot, we needed a swim and there were both shadow and sunny places to be.
The trading post is an open air museum in a spectacular bay on an island you can reach within 30 minutes from Bodo. We sat with a picnic of arctic shrimps on the pier over the small fjord. The views are absolutely amazing and one of the nicest in Norway. I can wholeheartedly recommend the trip out.
Beautiful little fishing village. Stunning views on the drive from Bodø including an interesting ferry ride. Friendly people.
As opposed to the other reviewers, I loved this place. I rented a bike for the day and rode around the countryside, taking photographs and talking to people. If you take an interest in their lives, they open up and you learn about how some other people live. The harbour was interesting and aesthetic. One of the staff explained the history to me as it was not tourist season. I wandered around on my own, taking my time and absorbing the atmosphere. There is a small general store with a quaint restaurant. You can stay overnight at the very lovely hotel.You can see some of my photos here: http://www.squidoo.com/the-good-the-less-good-and-the-beautiful-about-norway
C'était ma petite excursion d'une demi-journée là-bas. Avec le bus 400, c'est accessible depuis Bodo. Départ 12:56, bus de retour à 17:00. Juste le temps qu'il faut sur place. La route est magnifique avec la petite traversée en ferry. L'église du village et la marina sont très belles également.
Nydelig sted og typisk nordlansk. Vi var ikke kjent med åpningstider og fikk ikke med ossutstillinger og restaurant, så undersøk på forhånd. Skulle gjerne hatt med meg bildene av Harr. Men ellers så sto Handelstedet til forventingene.
It is a tiny village you can reach from Bodo in less than one hour including a short link with ferry. There you can find a small ensemble of traditional houses on the fjord, a small church and a lot of magic. Fantastic.
Its a long travel from Bodø and you must read about it before going there , Its in the details and fore photoshoot out ...
