Gammelbutikken in Skrolsvik

Gammelbutikken (The old store) was built sometime in the 1870’s as a general store with all types of goods like food, equipment, clothes, fishing gear and whatever else that was needed in a fishing village on Senja. In addition to being a general store it also functioned as office for the local fish landing factory and shipping agent. The second floor was used as accommodation for fishermen seeking shelter and somewhere to sleep. Today’s furnishing are the originals from 1925 and the store today appears much the same as it did a long time ago. Gammelbutikken today is a combination of museum, souvenir shop and cafe serving baked goods, coffee, drinks, ice cream and old fashioned candy. Variety of handcrafted goods from local Senja artists. Open Summer 2019 from June 25. – Aug 28. And on request. Can be booked for private events.

Segla

Reviewed By 856christophert - Eustis, United States

We snowshoed up Hesten Trail with Sans Senja Guides and had an amazing hike. We lucked out with the weather clearing just as we arrived, and only closing back in about half-way down on the return. It took us about three hours, but this was the first time we've ever snowshoed and the snow was a bit heavy considering the mild temperatures. But wow! What a hike. Norwegians are rightfully confident in their abilities to hike and snowshoe in alpine environments, so a lot of information you find online makes these things sound much easier than they are for the rest of us. We are from Florida where there are no hills or mountains. If you decide to do this hike in winter like we did, and you are 100% confident, I would highly advise you hire a guide. Sans Senja Guides were awesome.

Reviewed By Kalleus - Finland, null

Great place to stop and take photos while driving around Senja. I visited in October and still had some Autumn colours left. If you don't like doing hikes, this is a must-see spot in Senja, as it's very easily accessible. Like most spots, I would highly recommend visiting during sunrise or sunset, or during the Northern Lights season.
