THE COAST

[Lofoten sunset looking westwards from Henningsvaer, 3 kb]The spectacular section of coast between Henningsvær and Kalle is one with a huge amount of potential. The small set of routes described here is just a taster. The approach to the more remote cliffs is a little laborious though - a friendly fisherman might be a useful.
