A 45 minute ferry ride from Sommarøy–where we are staying–to the second largest island off the Norwegian coast: Senja and the Tourist Route.We went first to Fjordgard to do a “moderate” morning hike. Heston is only 2 km……but it is pretty much straight up! Looking back down at Fjordgard while the navigator calculates the route.1,500 foot elevation gain later we view the Mighty-Wall-of-the-Insta-Kongen (The Inner King). Incredible!Worthy of a panoramic photo.The iconic Segla peak rises above the Mefjord.We then drove around the Mefjorden and saw Segla. Heston is to the left – we hiked up to the saddle area between the two.We continued on the Senja Tourist Route to the Bergsbotn Viewing Platform. What a fun place to soar above the valley.The amazing landscape of the Bergsfjord “Where the ocean meets the sky” from the Bergsbotn Viewing Platform.Heading back, the Tungeneset rest area lies on the tip of the promontory that separates the Steinsfjord and the Ersfjord.We were especially captivated by the Djevelenstanngard (devil’s teeth) and all the pools of water reflecting the views, at TungenesetWow – there is the ultimate reflection! Tungeneset at Djevelenstanngard (devil’s teeth)Returning back to the car, the view was just as captivating in the other direction – into the sun and towards the other fjord, at Tungeneset.
