1. Gammelbutikken in Skrolsvik
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8 reviews
Gammelbutikken (The old store) was built sometime in the 1870’s as a general store with all types of goods like food, equipment, clothes, fishing gear and whatever else that was needed in a fishing village on Senja. In addition to being a general store it also functioned as office for the local fish landing factory and shipping agent. The second floor was used as accommodation for fishermen seeking shelter and somewhere to sleep. Today’s furnishing are the originals from 1925 and the store today appears much the same as it did a long time ago. Gammelbutikken today is a combination of museum, souvenir shop and cafe serving baked goods, coffee, drinks, ice cream and old fashioned candy. Variety of handcrafted goods from local Senja artists. Open Summer 2019 from June 25. – Aug 28. And on request. Can be booked for private events.

We had the most amazing day at Senja Huskys. The sled ride was so fun and such a unique experience. I was driving and you go through amazing countryside. Johnny is very friendly and easy to talk too. He loves his dogs and you can see that in how they interact with him. The dogs are beautiful animals that love cuddles and pats. I had a great time and it was up there with seeing the Aurora for me in senja.

Great place to stop and take photos while driving around Senja. I visited in October and still had some Autumn colours left. If you don't like doing hikes, this is a must-see spot in Senja, as it's very easily accessible. Like most spots, I would highly recommend visiting during sunrise or sunset, or during the Northern Lights season.
