Reine Attractions

The chief place on the island of Moskenesøy is the fishing village of Reine (Reine Kro; holiday houses), on the Kirkefjord, a favorite haunt of painters and climbers. 10km/6mi southwest is the little settlement of Å, at the end of the Lofoten road. From the higher ground above the village there is a view of the Moskenstraumen, between the cape of Lofotodden and the island of Mosken - the Maelstrom described by Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe.
Reine has been a notable commercial center since 1743 and in modern times a well-known tourist destination, with thousands visiting annually.
