The Blacksmith at Sund — Attraction in Flakstad

This place is superb. Went there as a stop on a coach tour and really sorry that the stop was not longer. Lots to see including the museum - and it's all very 'genuine', a fully working forge and a great museum with lots of genuine and interesting artefacts to see, not everything labelled so you can actually exercise your mind and imagination to understand what things are for. Ref the forge - I had no intention of buying anything on the visit but enjoyed the blacksmith at work and the time he took to chat to us about his work ands the history of the location - so I could not resist buying one of the artistic items he'd made before our eyes, and so glad I did. I would very much recommend...

We had been recommended to visit the Smed in Sund by family and friends, so we took the trip. We had a nice time there. The museum is located in a small area close to the sea. Very nice view. It was facinating to see the blachsmith in action. He was super friendly and made nice birds that he has specialiced himself in making. Also the rest of the fishingmuseum was nice to see.

There was a cosy cafe by the museum where we bought Coffee and a bun. Which was nice to sit outside looking at the Oceanview. On the opposite side of the museum there was a small jurely store.

The price was 100nok per person.

I absolutely can recommend to stop by...

I can highly recommend a visit to "Smeden i Sund" (the blacksmith in Sund). Here you can see a blacksmith in action and also see an exhibition of old boatmotors and fishing equipment. Some of the motors were running when we were there! The blacksmith is very friendly and builds sculptures that you can buy (unique and awesome for decoration). I really enjoyed this visit, it was so much fun to see an old art in action and also to listen to the nostalgic sounds from old motors! I'll definetly recommend this...
