Norway is famous for its fabulously picturesque and peaceful scenery. Many fans of walking along the nice quiet places go to the village of Reine. This small fishing settlement is situated on the peninsula of Moskenes. The population is about 330 people. The countryside of Reine is considered the most beautiful in the country. Its landscapes seem fantastic.
The village is characterized by the remote location. It’s far from major populated centers. However, in the middle of the 18th century, it was an important center of trade. Today, it’s an important settlement on the route of commercial vessels. Besides trade, the main mean of livelihood for local people is sea fishing, but it is seasonal. In recent years, the village of the Reine attracts tourists who want to admire the marvelous beauty of the sea and mountain scenery. The ancient settlement lies in the midst of many tourist routes.
Besides natural beauty, travelers are attracted by the unique architecture. There they can see fishing houses built over the water. Constructions are exactly the same as those built hundreds of years ago. Despite the fact that Reine is situated at a considerable distance from many of the major population centers, travelers can reach it even in winter. The village nestled in snow looks fantastic. The surrounding snow-capped mountains and the sea with deep blue water create a unique contrast.
