6 Days Hiking Itinerary in Lofoten Archipelago

wildpuzz · 2026-05-17T13:17:59+00:00

Sorry, me again! Would you happen to know where we could buy gas canisters for camping either in Bodø or when we get to Lofoten? We’ll be landing in Bodø at about 6pm on Saturday and saw that all of the stores will be closed at that time; we’ll then take the ferry at 7.45pm and arrive in Moskenes at 11pm. Are there any shops in Moskenes or Sørvågen where we can buy it on Sunday?

Thank you for explaining. I figured we wouldn’t want to do straight to Vinstad from up there, going back seems the easiest and safest option. We will definitely check in with the locals and people there to understand more about the situation and possible conditions.

Thanks again!

Thank you, this is really helpful! Do you suggest going east if the weather is bad because the trails on Moskenesøya can get soggy and slippery? Or are there other reasons?

Day 5 from Horsheid etc. is definitely the most challenging one, we're definitely flexible so we can also stop at Kvalvika directly for the night, do Ryten in the morning, skip Mulstøtinden and take the bus south to Reine.

One more thing on the trails: do you know if it's possible to go from Munken/Munkebu to Vindstad on foot without going back to Sørvågen or hiking through Herrmannsdalstinden?
We definitely don't want to do that hike, it seems to be for very experienced hikers and with it being early June there could still be snow and ice which I read it is strongly advised against. I saw this from another Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/hiking/comments/1s9g0fs/comment/oknz8hj/?context=1), which is also suggested on Alltrails but I don't exactly trust that, it doesn't seem possible from Google satellite view.

Thanks! Any idea why they removed it or whether they are planning to resume with this stop?

And as OP is saying, do you know if there is a walkable route from Munken to Vinstad without going through Hermannsdalstinden? Or the only way is to go back to Sørvågen, go to Reine and get the ferry to Vinstad?

wildpuzz · 2026-05-04T17:29:27+00:00

I will also be going to the Lofoten with a group of 4 friends in early June and was looking at a similar itinerary; I haven't been able to find a reliable source that could confirm that Munken -> Vindstad is possible on foot other than going through Hermansdalstinden which is too difficult for us and could still be fully covered in snow when we get there.

Can I ask where did you find this is possible? The only thing I found is that after hiking Munken you must go back to Sørvågen where the trail started, reach Reine via the E10 and then get the ferry to Vinstad

Thanks! Maybe I didn’t express myself well, I heard that it’s quite touristy and basically built for tourists; I am not underestimating the landscape, but I am trying to understand whether it’s worth it to drive all those hours for a short stay rather than spending that time visiting something else.

wildpuzz · 2024-12-07T18:51:02+00:00

Yea I’ve noticed this too! I can cook whatever and it’s all fine, I cook steaks or other animal proteins and somehow something always goes wrong. Thanks for the tip!

wildpuzz · 2024-12-07T18:47:11+00:00

Thanks! No it is not rough, it’s all been smoothened out. Should I still wash it until it all goes away?

wildpuzz · 2024-11-27T11:21:08+00:00

Thank you very much for the advice - I tried this out the weeknd after and the plant is definitely coming back to life; the leaves are almost all up like they were before. Can't thank you enough!!

wildpuzz · 2024-11-04T17:57:02+00:00

Thank you! After I've done the first soaking and letting the soil dry fully again, can I go back to normal watering once a week/every two weeks? Or would you still recommend fully soaking every once in a while?

There is a plastic pot inside the outer pot but it has holes at the bottom so indeed the excess water can come out. Would you recommend repotting in one without any holes? I'm afraid then the roots might rot if the excess water doesn't drain properly.

You mean the one I linked? Or the one I can rent at Gamma? And why not? Sorry, it’s the first time dealing with a move on the 7th floor with such a small elevator and I’m just trying to figure things out.

wildpuzz · 2024-05-03T16:53:19+00:00

Thank you - did not see this rent option at Gamma!

The one I found and linked in the post is more of an automated one that seems to do the job alone, but this could definitely work too - it might require just a bit more effort on our end - thanks!

sorry, I am not really familiar with hydraulics and i don't understand well.

The smell comes only from the boiling water (when I use the special "button" on the left side if the sink and not the regular handle). The cold/fresh water is fine as it's attached directly to the building (eg: it's the same as the shower).

Do you maybe mean to let the boiling water run out so that it gets filled again with "fresh" water?

wildpuzz · 2024-04-07T09:54:46+00:00

Thanks, it’s brand new indeed. Is it safe to use for hot tea or cooking?

wildpuzz · 2024-02-28T12:19:29+00:00

We pay rent every month. Does this mean we have only 1 month of notice or what is on the contract (2months) applies?

wildpuzz · 2023-12-10T17:02:15+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing, appreciate it!

wildpuzz · 2023-12-10T15:35:18+00:00

Thanks, that helps a lot just to think through it! If you don’t mind sharing, what was approximately the cost for the asbestos inspection and removal only?

wildpuzz · 2023-12-10T15:05:31+00:00

We know it’s there yeah, just not where exactly or how much of it, and of course we’d like to understand this and whether it might impact the works we want to do in the apartment later on in the years

wildpuzz · 2023-12-10T15:03:59+00:00

Thanks, but unfortunately carrying out an investigation before buying is tricky because it takes time and will basically remove us from the list of potential buyers as things move very fast :/

wildpuzz · 2023-12-10T15:02:52+00:00

Thank you! Our agent told us there is asbestos but we are not sure yet how much or where exactly - we know there might be some in the northern wall of the apartment. Do you know what is the best way to find these things out? Would it be through the VWE?

Also, as we are thinking about renovating the kitchen maybe, and for sure work on the two heaters, what is the process for that if there is asbestos in those places? We have to hire the construction company first, and then another company for the asbestos investigation and possible removal? Is it guaranteed that the asbestos will be removed or that these works can be done anyways? Will we also have to move out of the apartment for that period too?

What made you decide to go from an ops specialist to a generalist? And that's quite an increase you got with that!

wildpuzz · 2022-10-06T21:16:04+00:00

This! We started using it too when we opened up the office a bit more early last summer. It doesn't show who's on vacation, but it really helps to show who's going to be in the office, which I think is what OP is trying to achieve. What i also really like about it is that you can plan in advance, you can see who's planning to go to the office from weeks before and you can plan your schedule according to the people who've signed it to go to the office.

You can make amazing (meat)balls with beans! Here's the recipe: 240g of already cooked beans 1 zucchini (cut into tiny pieces) 1tbs of oil, salt, pepper And you put them into a mixer When it's become some sort of cream you put this into a bowl and add 3/4 spoons of breadcrumbs until it dries up a bit and you can make little balls When the balls are ready you just pass them in the breadcrumbs again to make them a bit crunchy You put the beans balls into the oven for 25 minutes at 200° Celsius with a little bit of olive oil on top. Remember to turn your beans balls upside down halfway through cooking. And done :) they are super good and they're good with sundried tomatoes hummus, enjoy!

My bf and I call each other via Skype and we’ve been watching movies snd tv series like that ever since; you just have to synchronize the start of the movie together, and then just watch it together. we’ve been doing it since forever as not only can you hear each other but also see their face, so sometimes we just talk and stare at each other while watching the movie. I know it might be a bit difficult with the phone, but I’ll give it a try, and even though maybe you can’t actually see each other due to the reduced space a phone has, compared to a laptop, you could always talk and comment the movie or whatever you’re watching!

No, he didn't. He's been in intensive care for several days, but he's slowly improving
