Torsken
Quiet fishing village at Senja's southwest tip, with a white wooden church and harbor backed by mountains, rarely visited.
Torsken lies at the southwest tip of Senja. It is a small fishing village that lives by cod fishing, and its name means 'cod' in Norwegian. The village has a white wooden church built in 1784, and on the quay are armchairs where visitors can sit and watch the fishing boats come and go. Far from the main tourist routes, it is peaceful with few visitors, and it makes a good detour from Gryllefjord, with fine coastal road views along the way. Facilities in the village are limited, so stock up beforehand.
