I’ve looked for the bus timetables in Senja on the internet and I saw they do exist, but they are quite poot. Are they improved during summer season?

In reply to David Nikel. No problems. I have enjoyed reading your articles for years ...... please keep 'em coming ! Being retired, my partner and I usually have two month-long explorations into our favourite country, and value the information you impart.

The F862 Svartholla (west of Mefjordbotn) in Senja is closed to all traffic, cyclists & pedestrians due to ongoing roadworks, which are estimated to be complete 1/11/2022. Links: https://www.vegvesen.no/trafikk/#/ruteplanlegger?lat=69.33309&lng=17.29043&zoom=8&layer=fer,tra,ctv,tfl https://www.tffk.no/tjenester/samferdsel/fylkesvei/veiprosjekter/fv-862-skredoverbygg-svartholla/ So at the moment the scenic round trip cannot be made in one circuit. Access to the eastern or western legs must be chosen after crossing the Finnsnes - Silsand bridge. I have verified today (23/08/2022) that the work is still in progress, but fortunately I'm here for a week before driving down to Lofoten.

Can you provide some information on the accommodations on the Senja Island, such as Airbnb, VRBO, Lodges, besides campground? I have been planning a hiking trip (All epic trails) on Senja and Lofoten Islands for 2023. Thanks.

Hi, it’s my first time to comment ☺
I get excited in this post coz this is the place of my Norwegian boyfriend. Hopefully I’ll be able to get there next month if I get my visa 🤞
