SUSTAINABLE VACATION AT FURU HOSTEL IN LOFOTEN
In recent years, Lofoten has been a popular destination to visit. People from all around the world travel far to experience the majestic mountains, gorgeous beaches and turquoise ocean. With the increasing number of tourists in Lofoten, it is essential to take care of the unique nature. That’s why we love to see businesses who put sustainability in the center, just like FURU Hostel at Knutstad in Vestvågøy. The people behind FURU gave new life to what was once a nursing home. In the restoration of the building, they have created creative solutions with reused material.
