LOFOTEN: A roadtrip to the MOST AMAZING places of Lofoten Islands // EPS. 7 EXPEDITION NORTH

- čas přidán 9. 12. 2020
- If there is one place on earth where it doesn’t matter if it rains, if snows, or if the sun shines because it’s beautiful never the less - it must be Lofoten Islands in Norway. A rugged mountain chain is rising up from the Gulf Stream, forming a rare and unique world. It’s wild and beautiful, with azure blue water, white beaches, green mountainsides, beautiful fjords, old fishing towns and maybe some of the most spectacular roads in the world.
Here are my Highlights for a visit on Lofoten islands:
- Visit the town Å i Lofoten
- Sleep in traditional Rorbuer, old fishing huts that are often reused as appartments and rent out to tourists
- Dine at Holmen Restaurant
- Drive over the stunning Fredvang bridges
- Check out the artistic village Henningsvær and it's football field, that is situated on it's own island
- Visit Nusfjord, one of the best preserved historic fishing villages in all of Norway
On our arrival with the ferry from Bodø in Moskenes on the island Moskenesøy of Lofoten we first did a trip to the most southern village of the island - that has the shortes name I ever came across: Å. After arriving in our accommodation Eliassen Rorbuer I invited my travel partner to Holmen Restaurant for a amazing dining experience.
The next day we finally took off to explore Lofoten: We drove over water at the beautiful Fredvang bridges, visited Nusfjord and it's restored historic village, looked at some art boutiques and the football field at Henningsvær and ended our day in Svolvær. Why I loved Lofoten? Check out the video for some of the most scenic shots of this whole journey!

Thank you guys for all the birthday wishes for my travel partner! He is so happy about all your nice comments and says thank you too!!!
💃🏻🎉🎈🎂
If you want to follow him on another Plattform you can find him as hairpinsandgravel on insta.
🙏🏻
Some of you asked why he doesn’t want to be on the CZcams videos - do you remember that he always comes in the picture when something goes wrong? (E.g. him being stuck in Sand in Mauritania, dropped motorcycle in Guinea, stuck in Sand in Sierra Leone ...). Yes, if I was him I wouldn’t trust me either that I will portrait him in a good way. 😂
(And another answer is: some people just don’t want to be all over social Media because of their jobs/ difficult family situations / or just because they simply don’t want it. I think that’s very legitimate as there come as well a lot of negative things with it. It’s never wrong to protect your privacy 🙏🏻)
@Toto Arriba You should have your own channel Toto! It would be a hit! You know so much about all these things! I will subscribe yours - just in case you at one point will start to make videos! :)
@@Got2Go HaHa well said.
Norway 🇳🇴- my dream country
Interesting about Lofoten: czcams.com/video/D3JJ0UecC90/video.html
People like you make CZcams a great place. Fantastic visuals and production quality. Don't stop making videos :)
Thank you so much for that huge compliment! ☺️☺️☺️

Norge är otroligt fint....och gillar norska folket....ett " broderfolk" och hela Skandinavien är 🙂👍
But we make Ockelbo snowmobiles and we have the Dala-horse in Sweden and we also invented the word "fika" that means to eat between meals so I think we are about at the same or maybe at a higher level when it comes to attractions.
Having been there by bike, I totally agree, the Lofoten Islands are beautiful in every way, even when there are some very violent storms.
Lea....I think this is one of your best videos of this series. The filming, audio and production are worthy of Netflix. You should be really proud of your work. Ride safe 👍🇬🇧
Wow thank you for that compliment! But it’s one of my favorites too, the nature is just so stunning!
I agree
really nice !
If I was a Viking I would be homesick every time I set sail. Beautiful Norway.
That is very well said! 😍
Thanks a lot for your amazing video. I am from United Arab Emirates.
Thanks for sharing
I enjoyed your beautiful video 🌷😍
Very good quality document thank you so mush.
What a beautiful trip. Nice to see it through your camera, thnx and very late birthday whishes to your travel partner.
Great Video! Super nice to see, beautiful images!
Football! Not "soccer". Everything else on this channel - absolutely wonderful! :)
Fantastic journey, wonderful coverage of all the places_Gangadhr.
Lofoten are breathtaking.....your video makes them ever better. You pointed out the best of landscapes. Brava! Ciao 🌷Happy birthday to your partner 🍾
Thank you so much! ☺️
This is such a beautiful country... I can understand you would like to stop every few minutes to take pictures. The Norwegian Tourist Office would love your contribution. Thanks for showing all this.
Und viele Glückwünsche an Ihren Reisepartner. 😉

Peer Gynt was for my travel partner - kind of his birthday wish to use that song at least once when cutting the Norway series! ☺️
Ed, thank you for your comment!
@@Got2Go You’re welcome. Very appropriate music.
Life in a islands is different ..always enjoying your sorounding and food is the best exchange. Stranger are welcome today enjoy the the island
I watched all your videos, it was amazingly beautiful and I really liked it.
I'm so glad you included the part telling your viewers to be respectful of the locals! ❤️ It's a really small place that can't accommodate loads of people at once.
The most beautiful place in the world 👍❤✌😁
Have never been there, but everywere else around Nothern norway. I only live 500 km from Lofoten 😂 in Sweden. But because of your video , My T7 is going to visit Lofoten 😘. And Trollstigen
Absolutely wonderful. Lofoten is like an enormous cathedral where heaven meets the sea. Thank you very much for taking us there.
Wow amazing.you are really great 👍
Thank you for your marvellous story and your video
What a beautiful place. I was there in may 2023. My son and I drove from Narvik. Is the most north place I have ever been. I really enjoyed driving with my son. I am 68 and he is 30. I live in Colombia and he lives in Oslo.
Beautiful ❤️ great to see a girl out there on a motorcycle... Yeah...belated happy birthday 💜💚💛🧡💙♥️❤️🎂
Beautiful...thank you so much for sharing
Beste Dokumentation über eine Motorradtour durch Norwegen, finde ich. 👍 Wir waren fast zeitgleich auf den Lofoten, übrigens auch im Eliassen Robour und auch mit Ducati 😏 Ab Nordkap dient mir Eure Tour als perfekte Vorlage für die nächste Reise. Vielen Dank!
Ach wie lustig! Da müssen wir uns knapp verpasst haben - hat euch der Regen dafür wenigstens nicht so lange begleitet? Auf der Fähre nach Norwegen haben wir Motorradfahrer getroffen, die bis nach Bergen mit der Fähre gefahren sind (und einen etwas strafferen Zeitplan hatten als wir) - und sie hatten die ganze Zeit Sonnenschein! 😂
@@Got2Go 😊 Leider hatten wir auf den Lofoten nur Regen. Dann ging es weiter bis Narvik, was auch unser nördlichster Punkt war. Danach wieder Richtung Süden. Angelehnt an Eure Reise, werden wir auf unserer nächsten Tour über Finnland bis zum Nordkapp fahren und dann über Schweden zurück. Sind schon neugierig auf deinen nächsten Clip.
Ja das ist eine gute Idee! Ich würde ja auch gerne noch Norwegen weiter an der Grenze von Schweden im inneren des Landes bereisen - das ist sicher auch nochmal anders und spannend! So viel zu tun in Skandinavien! Und: oh nein bezüglich eures Lofoten Wetters. Es ist immer ein Glücksspiel!
Truly heaven ❤️😍
Great film! I just got back from a trip to Lofoten. Might be one of the prettiest places on our planet ✨❤️
I just love it up there, so happy to only have 1500km to the best destination in the world :)
And it’s as well 1500 kilometers of a beautiful ride! You Are very lucky! ☺️
@@Got2Go yeah when I get 500km behind me the journey become a pleasure :)
Well since I'm watching in Oct of 21 belated B'Day wishes to your friend for this past birthday. Hopefully, it was spent in another beautiful place. So glad I now know what ' Å ' is. If it were not for you I would have been expecting to see B, C and so on 🤣🤣. This looks like an area where one could spend months soaking in the beauty of the scenery. Thanks for showcasing it.
Thank You for Beautys)) ant happy birthday for colegue:))
Hi, I don' t know what to tell. I don' t have words. Amazing video, amazing scenery, good commentaries.
I like motorbikering, my hearth is with you. Many regards from Czech 🇨🇿
Compliments, really slick production, magic locations and a wonderful accent. Greetings from Sydney Australia.
Wow, Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea
Gratiiiis! Tillykke! från Sverige! Travelpartner. Very nice shooting.
Seems more beautiful from the drone
I was in Lofoten last year with my bicycle so this brings memories.
Hello, Happy birthday in adavnce dear travel partner.
Hello from Austria, very beautiful video, happy birthday to your partner,
stay healthy and have a good ride
Hello to Austria! I am actually half Austrian but have not been there for so long because of COVID (my parents love there...). 😔
So glad to hear you talking about respect for the residents and importance of keeping the fantastic nature untouched for generations to come😍👍🏻👏🏻🇳🇴
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️ lovely movie
9:45 true 😊 very scenic every minute but the rainy weather i think very trouble for motorcycle riding with luggage 😂🙏
Wow - what a stunning place - I would love to ride here! 👍👍
I live only a few hours away from Lofoten but i have never been there. Maby this summer!
Great video. Thank you for the sharing. I love the Lofoten Island.
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
After working in and traveling around all over the world i have seen so many beautiful and fascinating places. Then i travelled around Norway and i must say it must be the most beautiful country on the planet. And Lofoten is the most beautiful place i have ever visited. I was lucky with the weather with blue skies all over. Totally stunning. It´ s like having the Alps in the middle of the sea. I come from the country next door, Sweden, which is quite beautiful itself, but i must admit Norway is even more so.
Lovely videos, great photography, love your knowledge and your accent.
Thank you. Some people hate the accent 😂
Awesome trip, well done 👌
Wow! So amazing place, when i see this video i feel like very peaceful mind✌️
Nice view nice music background this is one of the best video created😊
Ok, we just put Lofoten on our bucket list! Wow!!!
Great video. Stunning place. I ride the mighty GSA too fantastic bike. I have nearly every extra you can put on it.🏍
Ein schön gemachtes Video. Es ist halt sehr wechselhaftes Wetter dort oben.
Den Bildern nach war ich in Island daher noch gut bedient.
Weiterhin viel Spaß beim Reisen. ❤
Late birthday wish from Dortmund, going to the Lofoten end of june 22, I ll love your next videos, thanks for having me, goodbye.

5:12 really is the most beautiful view from a window I have ever seen . It is a place I must see . Thanks for another brilliant episode.

Oh sorry I forgot to wish your travelling partner. Happy Birthday to you dear_Gangadhar.

Yes it’s amazing! 😍
From one end to the other...mountains, plains, waterfalls,... blankets of greens and rocks touch and embrace the sea.
Fishing villages welcome those who are constantly surprised by sun, rain and so much beauty... For the daring whose birthday has been not forgetten a small banquet was offered.
Congratulations for both.
Fröhliche Weihnachten. ☃️🎄🎁
Merry x-mas to you too! Antonio, soon I think you have to write my voice overs for my videos - you are much more poetic than I am!
Wow..there is beautiful place for living
Amazing locations. Love the soccer field gets its own island. The restaurant window view is like a painting. Thanks for all you do with a motorcycle ha.
Intimate is a very pleasant video.. I enjoyed watching. Thank you in your effort.
Really beautiful landscapes, a place to dream.
Then all of the sudden a fossil motorbike drives by and destroys the unspoiled atmosphere. ;-)
😂 there will not only be fossil motorbikes on Lofoten - but lot of motor homes, cars, campers. It’s beautiful but unfortunately not a place that you will have all to yourself.
increasingly enchanted and proud of our beautiful europe. Thank you so much sweet Lia
Beautiful. Thanks for posting.
I discover your roadtrip to Lofoten... A bit late for a birthday cheer to your mate ... But anyway, Happy Birthday !!! (last or next)
Beautiful ride, fantastic views... You tested your rain equipment. 😉

Simply breathtaking. Thank you. We are planning our next trip to Europe from Melbourne, Australia. Have booked the BMW R1250GS in London for August/September 2023 and planning our 6 week ride. I was considering Norway and now I think this destination is confirmed! ✌️❤️🙏🇦🇺

Happy belated birthday to your travel partner! I'm going on a cruise soon and through my planning got across your wonderful trip. Love it! Thank you for sharing it ❤
Fantastisk video. Utrolig flott framstilling av Lofoten.
De som aldri har vært i Lofoten må jo få lyst til å reise dit, etter å ha sett videoen din 🇳🇴
Har kjørt Lofoten mange ganger, på min R1250R. Blir aldri lei, fantastiske mc veier, flotte fjell og strender. All in one 🇳🇴
Vielen Dank Lea für das wunderbare Video!
Beautiful scenery from the bikes and your drone, stunning place.
Coole Video Lea! Freue mich auf weitere ;-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Travel partner! Looks like a good time to me!
How lovely was that to watch ? On my list of places to visit .. now its at the top ! Thank you for all this ... I shall watch your other videos too.
Thanks for the beautiful video. The scenery is just fantastically amazing.
Wow just wow. Amazing.
Lofoten islands are so special, great video!
Så vackert ! Är själv från 🇳🇴 och varit där några gånger. Mycke proffsig video ❤️❤️❤️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Ein super schönes Video. Tolle Bilder. Wir planen Lofoten 2021.
Ah, das wird euch sicher gefallen! Aber schaut unbedingt auch die nächsten zwei videos an - ich mochte nämlich die anderen Inseln wie vesteralen und Senja fast noch lieber weil nicht so überlaufen!
@@Got2Go da sind wir jetzt schon gespannt auf die nächsten Videos. Wir wollen 2021 unbedingt ans Nordkapp. Im Anschluss werden wir 2 Wochen im Norden Norwegens verbringen... da sind wir über Tipps immer dankbar!
Wann genau warst du in Norwegen? Und wie waren die Temperaturen?
Viele Grüße
Love the colours of this video! Can't wait to visit lofoten.
Beautiful! Love your positive attitude.
Thank you!
Oh man what a great view! Thanks for sharing 👍
