Far north above the Arctic circle are located the scenic Lofoten Islands. With their deep fjords and steep jagged peaks the Norwegian islands provide countless picturepostcard views, and naturally I was curious to experience all that. And I found out that there was a route called The Long Crossing of Lofoten which connects multiple trails into a single route and aims to go through the most iconic places on the islands. This film documents my experience attempting to hike the 160km route.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this journey into nature!
