Nusfjord is a Harbor or Marina in Norway

Nusfjord is an old fishing village on the southern shore of the island of Flakstadøya in Lofoten, tucked into a narrow inlet off the Vestfjorden. It is one of the best-preserved fishing villages in Norway, its red and ochre rorbuer, quays and boathouses kept much as they were in the cod-fishing era. Today many of the cabins take guests, and the harbour, general store and old buildings can be walked around as a living museum of the trade. The steep hills close around the inlet, so the sky opens narrowly overhead, and on dark winter nights the northern lights can be seen above the harbour and the water. Snow settles over the village and surrounding slopes for much of the year. Nusfjord was also immortalised as a board game when legendary creator Uwe Rosenberg produced a game about fishing named after the village.

  • You can walk into the historical fishermen’s cabins and see the tools they used to use. This is also the starting point for a nice hiking trail along the coast.
