SENJA: Roadtrip on the SCENIC ROUTE and a hike to HESTEN and SEGLA mountain //EPS.9 EXPEDITION NORTH
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ธ.ค. 2020
- The fairytale island Senja is as well called Norway in miniature because so many of the nation´s highlights can be seen in this single unique area: High mountains, fjords, valleys, colourful villages and bays. Join our ride over Senja's senic route - and a hike to the peak of Hesten mountain from where you have an amazing view on Segla mountain, that is as well known as the "sail of Senja".
They call Senja two faced: gentle, green and welcoming on the landward side, and raw, brutal and furiously stormy on the oceanside.
We arrived in Gryllefjord with the ferry and stayed close to Hamn I Senja. From there we were able to explore the island Senja on the scenic route: along rough mountains, through dark tunnels and across beautiful birch woodlands.
But our highlight was a hike to the top of Hesten mountain from the trailhead in the village Fjordgard, to enjoy the view on the iconic Segla "sail of Senja".
And finally I was able to stay up long enough at night (due to the bites of flies that attacked my ankle on the hike on Hesten and made my foot swell terribly) to experience the famous midnight sun!
If you want to enjoy this spectacle of nature too, join my journey to one of my favorite places in Norway!

Happy New Year to everyone!
Thanks for joining the journey here on my channel in 2020 - it has been a very exciting year for me with starting to produce content for TH-cam in the first Corona Lockdown.
I am so happy and thankful about this great community here, all your lovely comments and every single one of you who is following my trips and helping this awesome community of travelers and likeminded people to grow.
I am looking very forward to 2021 - with more journeys and hopefully all of you on board for the next adventures!
Time is healing all wounds! Happy new year to you too!
Stunning, stunning and oh yeah..Stunning
Beatiful Norway, beatiful Lea. Thanks ♥️😍🇵🇹
Just amazing
Senja is a gem
thanks for our excellent video on Loforton islands and Vesteralen .i want to visit Loforton islands for the midnight sun and for the dancing Northern lights.I hope your foot is now better.!
Cette nouvelle vidéo est un merveilleux cadeau de début d'année. Bien plus efficace que tous les vaccins du monde. Merci.
Let's hope Norway will open up again for tourists, soon!
Senja ist definitiv eine der schönsten Ecken im so wunderschönen Norwegen!
I am really very enjoy and love the views capture through during bike Riding.. and very surprised the midnight shot 📸 👍 my wish i saw this view from my own eyes 😍
Beautiful scenery. Very nice video and commentary. Love it!
Lovely... Thank you so much for bringing all of us these videos.. Very calming and enjoyable.
You are welcome! ☺️ thank you for watching!
Beautiful!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Love the footage 😂. Amazing videos, always a joy to view.
I agree with you about staying and exploring Senja, it is so beautiful. I love the history of each town you visit. I prefer to stay on the back roads and visit the small towns when I traveled in the U.S.A. The people are so much nicer and the food is so much better. I found the restaurants did not cook all frozen foods (YECK!). The scenery is so much prettier too! I kind of figured your traveling companion would change his mind about the hike as he saw the spectacular and breathtaking views get better as you climbed higher. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless and protect you.
I really enjoying to see your every videos
Hello, beautiful landscapes, spectacular images.
the music is beautiful but not as beautiful as the landscapes.
A greeting from Barcelona.
Nothing as beautiful as the landscape 😍😍😍
Oh, what a gorgeous video! I live in northern Norway, so I know the landscape is beautiful, but as an amateur photographer myself, I think you are being too modest and humble about your photo- and videography (and editing) skills. Filming or photographing gorgeous landscapes does not automatically make gorgeous videos or photos :)
I've watched several of your Northern Norway videos, and they are really inspiring. It's snowing in Tromsø today, and my trusty old motorcycle is winter hibernating in my mother's garage hundreds of kilometers from here :(
I have been to Senja, but I want to kind of do what you did; take a few days there, camp out, ride around and see the different parts of the island.
You are a great ambassador and promoter on your journeys, thank you!
Thank you for this nice comment! I think camping out is actually an amazing idea in Senja - we didn’t have camping gear with us but highly regretted it. You are very lucky, from your home it’s not a very long trip to there. Wish I could go to senja every summer, I still had so many places there I wanted to hike and see...
What a beautiful area to ride. So far north and yet weather so mild this time of year.
I have to disappoint you: as stated in the caption of the video the journey was in July/august. Today there is probably a lot of snow!!!
@@Got2Go I missed that lol. Cheers
Worth every step, even in the wrong footwear, probably worth the insect bites and discomfort to witness such amazing views and stunning midnight sun, envious is an understatement but thank you for your efforts and skill for allowing us to be with you on these travels, ride safe and stay safe, Derek
Thank you Derek! And yes it was worth everything!!!
Beautiful nature nice🙂👍👍
How is it possible?
Your productions just keep getting better even though the previous were perfect.
Again - poetry in motion.
Thank you so much for the compliment - but I think it’s because the nature gets more beautiful and beautiful the more north we get. ☺️
Wonderful place
What a wonderful view right there with the midnight sun!!!
This was a very serene and tranquil portion so far. I concur, it’s worth returning to Senja and spending more time there. The gorgeous scenes, the calm waters, the meadows and valleys are stunning. That was just amazing to see the sun on the horizon between 12 and 2am. 🙏
It definitely was. So crazy beautiful!
A stunning video, such good quality, and amazing scenery, thank you, from the Uk
Perfect place for a bike vacation!
Superb stuff. Love it.
very nice :), And a very common mistake from tourists coming to Norway. They are not prepeared for the though hikes, and weather. Shoes and warm clothes the most frequent issue. And, they get lost when trying to take shortcuts... Good to see that you made it :).
beautiful ride,
Wow! How beautiful is Senja especially without the clouds and rain! The views from the top of the mountain were stunning and a worthy reward for the effort of the climb.
I had a similar poor foot ware experience while on a bike trip in Lech, Austria. An all fours scramble to the summit in t shirt jeans and trainers with a carrier bag for my map and water. Lots of funny looks from people more appropriately attired. Going up was fine but coming down not so!
It’s been a pleasure following your journeys this year Lea. Best wishes for 2021.
Yes, in the beginning I was like “oh, all these people who are completely over equipped with all their hiking gear, it’s very fine in sneakers”. On the way down I was like 🥶🤯
Always doing the same mistake when it comes to prioritizing proper shoes versus less weight... 😄
@@Got2Go Less weight always wins with me!
Beautiful video. 👍
You are a superb film maker...............this is superb. Very best of luck for your travels next year, if only I was younger I would give anything to travel with you as we are so alike...........except you are FAR better looking LOL! Thank you for sharing your life.
Hahaha, thank you for that compliment Paul! I guess it would still be fun to travel together! Happy new year! 🎉
Wow. Tolles Video. Die Wanderung ist spektakulär... mein Must-Do für 2021
Wenn du auf senja vorbei kommst mache sie unbedingt! Am besten früh oder spät - sonst kann man glaube ich sehr viele andere Leute treffen...
Glad you eventually got some dry weather and were able to enjoy riding a bit more .
Perfect weather from now on! 😍☺️
Happy i found this channel. Very nice. Already watched part of the africa trip. That is an adventure!
Yea, some of them are actually my absolute favorite videos...
Happy New Year Leah,
Du hast Recht mit jedem Video wird die Reise schöner und wow dieses Senja. Atemberaubende Aussichten.
Und dein Reisepartner hat sowas von Tool Time. Der Nachbar den man nie sieht....
Irgendwann werden wir auch ihn zu Gesicht bekommen.
LG
Haha, jetzt musste ich sehr lachen! Tool Time! 😂
Norway is so beautiful 😍
Love Norway from India 🥰
Happy New Year. Another great video. Looking forward to the next one already.
Thank you! ☺️
Been traveling there pretty much same time as you last year :), did the same hike too. Really nice place, good to remember.
Yes it was super nice, wasn’t it?!
Happy New Year 🎆🎇🎆🎇🎈🕺🕺👍👍
Excellent video, looks like my route is going to be changed again to take in mini Norway 😂 have a wonderfull new year and keep the videos coming
Crosstourertony
Yes don’t miss out senja. It’s just stunning! 😍
Suatu saat nanti bisa ke sini
You went from 6 layers on the road to a T-Shirt up in the mountains which were further north. I'm guessing this was sometime around August. Amazing scenery again but I see the terrain becoming more tundra-like. Beautiful midnight sun photography. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.
The best place to enjoy the magnificence of the iconic mountain Segla is from near summit Hesten. Segla is the most famous mountain on Senja island in Northern Norway.
Sehr schön!
Great video with beautiful pics and good information. Excellent. Happy New MC Year!
Happy new year to you too!!!
Beautiful places well filmed as usual. Good luck to the swollen foot and I'm looking forward to the next episode....as always.
Thank you! Meet you next week in the lyngen alps - with a still swollen foot 😂
No comment on his impressive work about Senja, nothing about on his special detail in the comments, neither about Zermatt.... Just a single wich for hope and joy...
A happy New Year with good news,... I wish see a big smile in the next year on everyone face....
Happy New year, for both "knights"
Antonio, that I hope too! I wish you all the best and a very happy new year!!! ❤️
Sorry for Your foot pain, but you can bee happy afterwards since it made you see the midnight sun! Thanks for another amazing video 👍🏻😃
Yes that was absolutly stunning! Such a crazy light!!! 😍
I like your German accent, stunning episode. I've just subscribed! Best wishes from Canada, I highly recommend to come and travel through Alberta starting from Calgary and British Columbia to Tofino on Vancouver Island where the rainforests are. Take your BMW with you, the best way to hit the road with stunning views. Hopefully, we'll forget about this Covid soon...
Thank you - and welcome to the journey! I already did that journey through canada on my worldtrip 2017 - and loced it! :)
@@Got2Go Oh! Which location you enjoyed the most? My favorite is the rainforest, like an Avatar place, different world... The road from Banff to Jasper is one of Top 10 in the world I heard
Very nice Video, and i hope you vill have a great 2021
Wish you the same! Happy new year!
WOW! Welch tolle Landschaft... Mega Aufnahmen, die mal wieder die Lust steigern sich sofort aufs Motorrad zu setzen.
Bei mir auch! Nur noch ein paar Monate! ☺️😂
Awesome video again Lea, thank you for sharing such amazing journey! 👍👍
Great channel great content , just subscribed loving the Norway adventure thanks for posting 😄
Loving the journey 👍🇳🇴.
My wife is from Sweden and we have friends in Norway. We’ve visited only two times as we live in Australia and really couldn’t be any further away. So it is with much joy as we watch and follow your TH-cam travels through Norway.
Norway has to be one of the worlds most beautiful countries. The magnificent mountains and fjords are truly breathtaking.
🎉 Happy New Year and I wish you may safe travels in 2021👍😀🏍.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.
At the moment I wouldn’t be unhappy about being in Australia - summer and so much better corona situation! But indeed Norway is absolutely out of this world stunning! Sometimes still can’t believe it when I watch the videos! ☺️
All the best to you and happy new year!!!
Thanks for ur pain on ur foots we see also and the midnight sun😀. Happy new year 🎅🌷☘🌷☘
Yes, I was happy about that too - the midnight sun was spectacular! ☺️😍
Another wonderful video, Lea. Both Senja and you are natural beauties. Norway continues to amaze me. Looking forward to your next episode. Stay safe. 👍🇨🇦
Thank you for the two compliments! ☺️☺️☺️
@@Got2Go Happy NewYear Lea . Hopefully 2021 will see the end of the pandemic and allow you and all of us to get back on the road and enjoy our bikes. And for you to continue your adventures in Africa. Cheers, Dan
Oh! Happy New Year 🎉.
Beautiful! Thank you for taking us to places few of us will ever be able to see in person.

Happy new year, dean! See you at the lyngen alps! ☺️
Thank you for the excellent content and showing how beautiful Senja Island is. Norway should make you and your partner Honorary Ambassadors. Wish you, your partner and everyone viewing this channel a Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you too!!!
Senja is such a wonderful place. It was my first ever goal when I got my licence and bike to go there and see the northern lights and I did😍
But what I didn't expect was the the beauty of the island, I really loved it there.
Oh wow I am still dreaming of seeing the northern lights one day! Must have been a wonderful trip and a wonderful experience!
It was and I can only describe it as a moment of perfect and magical beauty. You should see them! Senja is a good place to catch them later in the year, i was there I august.
So nice the landscape, thanks to share these wonderful moments with us :-)
Thanks for watching! ☺️
I like the Midnight Sun .
Hi Lea,
Stunning road trip via the west coast of Norway! My compliments.
I once did a road trip by car via Finland to Alta and visited North Cape.
But , yeah the rain sometimes around the artic circle is a thing...
Certainly a challenge to do via motorcycle.
Good luck on your next trip...
Cheers, Daan (NL)
Thank you Daan. Next Thursday I will publish the episode about reaching north cape - since you have been there you might like that one! ☺️
Great video .
Happy new years
Happy new year! 🎉
Happy New Year Lea. You can be sure that i follow u and your friend all the way to the northern cape even though i have been there 2 times myself.It`s a cool place,hope u like it.Norway is fantastic
It’s such a cool place, I as well think it gets better and better the more we got! 😍
@@Got2Go Yeah sure.When do u think u are back on the africa trip.I am waiting and longing.....
Good that both Noraly and you visited Norway this year. Seing the several faces of this are in all kinds of weather is really interesting, and no matter if storm and rain or sunshine, it's a breathtaking beauty.
Habt ein glückliches 2012! :oD
Happy née year to you too! And noraly and I missed each other only by days unfortunately! And she got the bad weather afterwards that I had before! 😂😫
@@Got2Go Well, Noraly keeps complaining about how small she is. Maybe enough watering will make her grow to a size she's happy with? ^^)
**Runs and hides**
Seriously, it was just too obvious how the circumstances of her trip took a bit out off her every day. That part of the videos wasn't fun too watch.
Wish you all the best dear Lea. Thanks for this video; just a piece of beauty to end this strange year. Ciao 🍾
Happy new year to you too! Hopefully great adventures coming for all of us in 2021!
Happy New Year to you. Thanks for the beautiful video. We too have been in Hamn i Senja, heaven on earth!
Yes, isn’t it a great place? Loved senja so much in general! 😍
Briliant! 👍 Happy New Year lea & Partner!!
Thank you! To you too!
Hello, Happy New Year to Both of You. Very Beautiful and pollution-free place and Your Ride. Thanks.
Another amazing video of a beautiful place on this earth Happy New Year!!
Happy new year to you too!!
11:39 tolle Lichtstimmung! 🌅
Wonderful footage of a beautiful country, made by a professional. You certainly have an eye for your surroundings. The emphasis is on the country and not on the riding itself, like with so many other vloggers. Thank you, Lea. Frohes neues Jahr.
Frohes neues Jahr - and many new adventures for all of us in 2021! ☺️
@@Got2Go 😉🥂🍻
Happy New year.... Enjoyy
Thank you, wish you the same!
@@Got2Go thank you...
Norway is always a nice place for motorcycling....Almost! Backside is that it has a lot of rainy days that can ruin the mood of a biker.
جميل جدا استمتعت
Es ist ein schöner Ort !
Thanks again. Very interesting and informative. Hope your foot is better.
I guess on a motorcycle there are two kinds of days...... boots over pants days and pants over boot days :-) Happy New Year to you as well.
Exactly! And the second one are the best days! 😂☺️
I did enjoy👍🏻 the video. You get to ride in some amazing 🥲 places. I live in Texas but one day soon I’m going to ride up to Prudhoe bay Alaska. There is were I’ll get to see the midnight sun. From my home to Prudhoe Bay is about 4500 miles or 7242 km one way. There’s so many magnificent places to see along the way in the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦. We hope to see you Exploring the vastness of the US one day soon. To get a good look you may have to stay at least a year. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
Happy new year to you too! I already spent about 4 months in the us and Canada on my worldtrip - was not long enough though! Really some beautiful places to ride! Hope to come back when corona is over again! ☺️
Another brilliant video. I’m in love with you, for your perfect narration and imagery, and Senja for its natural beauty. Both amazing! Thank you for producing this level of artistry and excellence. Ride safe.
Thank you so much for this amazing compliment - and for joining the journey here on TH-cam! Happy new year!!
Wow Lea, an absolutely beautiful and interesting presentation of Mini-Norway! Motorbiking and hiking look like great experiences there! And what i'm definitely looking forward to in 2021 is your next episode! Happy New Year to you, your travel partner and everybody who reads this 🥂🍀👍
Happy new year to you Christoph! Thanks for joining the journey and traveling with us! See you hopefully next Thursday at the lyngen alps! ☺️
Lovely ♥️
Das ist sehr schon ❤️
Super beautifull... Happy new year
Thank you, I wish you the same!
amazing
