Eldhusøya

The elevated hiking path at Eldhusøya island is a round trip that everybody can manage, and it stays open every day, all year.

Sunshine is obviously an advantage, but the experience may be even more intense on a day when the weather is tempestuous. The café, with windows that mimic a glittering school of herring, is open for visitors during the summer season.

The café at Eldhusøya is open 1 June - 31 August, from 12:00-16:00. and weekends from 11:00-17:00.

There is a lot of traffic at Moskenes ferry landing, and at times there is a long wait between departures.

The building is designed as a simple pavilion and mainly consists of a large "floating" roof resting on two concrete trestles. The roof extends beyond the walls to cover the outdoor area around the building, and is designed as a lampshade. This serves as a bright spot at the edge of the quay and is clearly visible from the sea even in the dark season. With its different shades of a greyish-blue colour, the building at Moskenes ferry quay has become an attraction in itself.
