Hamn i Senja
Century-old fishing village in a bay that once had one of the world's earliest hydroelectric plants, now a cluster of holiday cabins.
Hamn lies in a bay off Bergsfjorden. In the late 19th century, nickel was mined here, and in 1882 Norway's first hydroelectric power station was built, one of the earliest in the world. Mining remains are still visible. Today the whole fishing village has been converted into a holiday hotel, with seaview cabins, a restaurant and activities including sea fishing, kayaking and sightseeing boats. It serves as a base for many travelers touring the island. The small harbor and the steep peaks behind it make for great photos. You can dine at the restaurant without staying overnight. It is about a 20-minute drive from Gryllefjord.
