Sørvågen, Fishing village in Moskenes, Norway
The village extends along the southwestern coast of Moskenesøya island, surrounded by mountains that rise directly from the Norwegian Sea.
In 1906, Sørvågen became the second location in Europe, after Italy, to install a wireless telegraph system connecting to Røst island.
The Norwegian Telecom Museum in Sørvågen presents the evolution of communication technologies through exhibits of early telegraph and wireless equipment.
Visitors can reach Sørvågen by taking a ferry from Bodø to Moskenes, followed by a short bus ride or two-kilometer walk along route E10.
The village maintains several fish farms and guest piers where travelers can observe traditional Norwegian fishing methods and marine cultivation techniques.
