Located in the heart of Nordland, Norway, Nusfjord is a historic fishing village that draws visitors with its rugged coastal charm and dramatic Arctic landscapes. The Backpack with Lunch experience offers a perfect way to soak in this raw beauty on foot, with every detail designed for a comfortable and memorable outdoor meal. Guests receive a fully packed backpack containing fresh sandwiches, juicy fruit, and refreshing drinks, along with a woolen mat to sit on—ideal for the cool Arctic setting. What makes this trip stand out is the blend of nature and tradition: diners can relax amidst the distinctive red-painted rorbuer (fishermen’s cabins) and rocky shoreline after their walk. A highlight is ending the outing by gathering around a fire built with provided logs and matches, turning a simple picnic into an authentic Nordic outdoor ritual.
