Mefjordvær
Traditional fishing village at the mouth of Mefjorden, facing the towering cliffs of Segla and Hesten across the fjord; ideal for watching the sunset.
Mefjordvær sits on the west bank of Mefjorden and is an important fishing port in northern Senja. Colorful houses, fish racks and a small chapel line the harbor. It is the best place to view the steep cliffs of Segla and Hesten across the fjord, especially in the evening when the mountains glow red in the sunset. The village offers fishermen's cabins and sea fishing boat rentals, and in winter you can watch the northern lights from the harbor. Coming from the Steinfjord direction, you drive through a tunnel to reach it, about 20 minutes.
