  Beschreibung

  I have taken over my mother's childhood home, the house was built in 1930 and needs a good deal of maintenance.
  I have participated a lot in local organisations which try to take care of the old school and the cultural landscape in and around this small village - and reduce the footprint of tourists.
  We value all of our guests’ collaboration in maintaining a positive environment in the village.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Look up Reinefjorden and you will see this is a quiet beautiful corner of the world. Stillness under steep majestic mountains by the see gives peace inside. The few people living here are friendly, creative, welcoming and have lots of ideas. In the summertime some more holiday stayers and many tourist are around. Local organisations try to take care of the local cultural landscape.
  
  You can learn a lot about local history and culture and get new friends here. If you’re interested in learning some Norwegian, we can help you with that too.
  In addition you can understand more about the joys and struggles of tourism for a small village, and learn how you could travel in a globalised world in a kind and respectful way.

  Was noch ...

  The village Vindstad is reachable by boat from Reine, which runs up to four times a day in the summertime. From Reine you can reach all the islands of Lofoten and explore many beautiful beaches and villages.
  There are no roads or stores in Vindstad, but food can be ordered and delivered by boat twice a week.
  We live a simple and cozy life here where you have most necessities, but you shouldn’t expect city life amenities.
