Tungeneset
Senja, Norway
A wooden walkway over the rocks facing the jagged Okshornan peaks across the fjord. One of the classic viewpoints on the National Scenic Route Senja, lovely at midnight in June.
Tungeneset is a rest area with a viewpoint on the National Scenic Route Senja in northern Norway. It sits on a headland between two fjords. A universally designed walkway in Siberian larch leads across the rocks, with views of the jagged Okshornan peaks, also known as the Devil's Teeth. There are public toilets at the car park, but they are closed in winter.
The scenic route is about 102 km long and runs between Botnhamn in the north and Gryllefjord in the west, with detours to Husøy, Bøvær and Mefjordvær. In summer you can experience the midnight sun, and from late August the northern lights may appear. In winter, the narrow roads are not for everyone according to the tourist board, and the weather changes quickly. Ask Visit Senja about road conditions and suitability for motorhomes before you go.
