Leknes view photo spot

Leknes is situated in the geographical middle of the Lofoten archipelago on the island of Vestvågøya. It is one of the few towns in Lofoten that does not depend on fisheries and does not have its town centre by the sea. Because of this, and because of its rapid growth in recent years, it does not have the same traditional wooden architecture as most other towns in Lofoten, and may thus not be as picturesque as its neighbouring fishing villages.
