Travelling here
Here’s a brief description of the easiest way to travel to Hov
About Hov
Hov is one of the oldest places in Lofoten with ancient remains dating back a long time. The site has boat docks, a god’s court and graves from the Viking Age. It is believed that the Viking Tore Hjort had his chieftain’s seat here over 1,000 years ago. He is mentioned in the Viking saga and was killed by King Olav Tryggvasson during the Christianisation of Norway. Tore Hjort and other stories are told to you when you take part in our guided horseback riding tours.

We offer
First and foremost, we offer a wide range of horse riding holidays. We have a campsite with pitches both with and without electricity, with Hovstranda as our nearest neighbour. We have a wood-fired sauna on the beach and our own restaurant, Låven, which serves delicious dishes using local produce whenever possible. We have just renovated the main house on the farm, Hov Gjestehus, which is rented out to overnight guests. It has 6 double rooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a beautiful view of Hovstranda and the sea beyond. The farm is owned and run by Frode Hov together with his administrative manager Kjersti Gjesdal and chefs Mariana Bichir and Vytautas Verkauskas, in collaboration with a team of excellent employees. Frode grew up on the farm, which has been run by his family for several generations over several hundred years.
