Reine is the administrative center of the municipality of Moskenes in Lofoten in Norway. The village with around 300 inhabitants has existed since 1743. Today tourism is important. Despite its remote location, thousands of people visit this area annually.
The Europastraße 10 runs through Reine. Reine is known for its scenic beauty. The view from Mount Reinehaben on Reine is a popular photo motif that is used on the front pages of many tourist brochures and books. In 1999 the painter Ingo Kühl set up a provisional studio in a rorbu and painted the view over the harbor to the mountain range.
