Senja

Senja

5.4
Senja is located within the Arctic Circle and is the second-largest island in Norway. Snow-capped mountains, fjords, white sand beaches, and fishing villages are all concentrated on this single island. The landscape contrast between the east and west sides is striking, which is why it is often called Norway in miniature. The west side of the island faces the open sea, with steep and desolate mountains. A jagged mountain ridge is vividly known as "The Devil's Jaw," and the wooden boardwalk viewing platform on the west coast faces this ridge directly; on the east side, fjords extend deep inland, with birch forests, pine forests, and fields intertwined. Hiking is the main way to experience this island: from the fishing village of Fjordgård, you can climb Segla mountain to overlook the sharp peaks plunging into the bay; the nearby Hesten mountain trail is less difficult and offers equally expansive views; the white sand beaches of Ersfjord are perfect for a stop along the Arctic coastline. The southern half of the island is also home to Ånderdalen National Park, which preserves centuries-old primeval pine forests and vast areas of alpine vegetation. Because it is located within the Arctic Circle, it experiences the midnight sun that never sets in summer, while in winter, it is a destination for chasing the aurora. Traditional fishing villages with red and yellow wooden houses are distributed along the coast. Among them, the Husøy fishing village is built entirely on a small islet, connected to the main island by a narrow bridge, making it a great place to experience the maritime atmosphere of Northern Norway.Norway · Senja

I would say this is a must-visit place in Tromso. Going up near sunset and you would be able to enjoy the fill view of Tromsoya with changing colour tone of the sky and sea. Very impressive and good value for money.

I've just visited this incredible place during the polar night, and even been with a light light, it was an amazing visit. The small beaches invite you to eat something sitting on the sand while watching the Norwegian Sea.At the village you can find a small supermarket and an electric car charging station.

I went there in autumn. There is no polar day or polar night. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the air is fresh. It is a good place to relax and unwind. I stayed there for a week. I would recommend everyone who is tired from work to stay in Norway for a week. I didn't live in the city center, but Tromso is so small. The city center, suburbs and airport are all about 15 minutes away by bus. Live slowly and play slowly. In the past, you could see the northern lights as long as it was sunny. Don't get too tired. It is really a good place to absorb energy. If you live by the sea, you will be in a good mood as soon as you open the window every day. Anyway, it is worth a visit.

Where is the northernmost Catholic church in the world? It's Tromso in Norway. If you don't drive to the church, you can take the bus, but we choose to walk slowly, from the city center harbor, walk along the seaside, then walk up the bridge and go straight to see the church. The church is actually not big, because it was not open when I went, the front is glass, you can look inside, nothing special, then walked around the church, the back is stained glass windows, with white snow, very beautiful.
