Walking the streets of Finnsnes, Norway

One chilly morning I explored the small town of Finnsnes on foot, far above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway. I got to know the town, some of its shops and buildings and parks, and finally managed to beat a path through the bushes to get right to the edge of the fjord and touch the mighty Norwegian waters. All this, plus a female-only AC/DC cover band!

The private tractors are for clearing snow in the winter.

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks!

[@rhyacinthlevrini6577]

The Hurtigruten Terminal is also where the "speed ferry" from Tromsø makes a stop.

[@StrawberryMilk-kq1sc]

This video is very nice, thank you! ☺

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Norway looks just amazing! We have go to visit Europe someday and it would be nice to spend a few weeks in each country! Ah one can dream while I sit at work at my desk. When you were spitting out the Fjord water and walking around town after I was laughing. Thanks for answering that question for me.....The Fjord is salty!

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks! Yeah, I go on and on about how "OMG this fjord water is Arctic ocean water!" and then get surprised that it's salty, duh

[@tahustvedt]

I'm there often. I live nearby.

[@Vinterloft]

Many places in Troms/ Finnmark are like this, because they were built quickly and efficiently after everything for miles had been burned by the retreating Germans

[@CathyS_Bx]

A sign revealed you were there in late September, which strikes me as a great time to be there--enough daylight, golden trees!

[@T1DWanderer]

Yes, that's exactly what it was. In some upcoming videos you can see the endless golden trees around northern Norway. (Until it gets so far north that there are no trees!)

[@CubaMiAmor2010]

I'm not to thrilled with this place either. Thank you for sharing your video. It was awesome but I don't think I will ever go there.

[@T1DWanderer]

I guess it's a good place to stop if you're traveling through. And I did like the fjord and the statue. But other towns were more inviting

[@Karolinerlh]

We use all our money on Senja! 😂 Finnsnes is a weekend place. then its alot of people everywhere! 😄@@T1DWanderer

[@Vinterloft]

One of the many examples of places built in a rush in a functional and easy to build style after the Germans burned everything to the ground

[@barandor]

i CANT wait getting there... got a job offer at finnsnes

[@T1DWanderer]

Awesome!

[@sonnyhanssen4598]

Did you call the island Tromsø-øya? The bridge is Gisund-brua. It godes to the island Senja.

[@steve2theworld]

I wonder how the AC/SHE-C event went. I bet Finnsnes was the place to be that weekend!

[@T1DWanderer]

You never got bored in Finnsnes!

[@Barley150]

Cool. And salty as a tube of Norwegian caviar.

[@T1DWanderer]

I can still taste it

[@Muchoyo]

"Skuffer & Skap" simply means "Drawers & Cupboards". Funny, isn't it 😅

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks for the info!

[@raageabdi3123]

I remember 20 years ago, myself I visited this small town called Fissneses I was there for just 6 hours I remember very well this town there’s small lake middle of the town. I Remember we went to visited The House of Norwegian Troll . It’s funny they told us They are believed to live alone or in small families and are hostile towards humans. As per the troll legends, they are believed to be evil and dangerous beings that prefer the wilderness.

[@T1DWanderer]

Sounds like a cool place, wish I'd seen the House

[@kendexter]

Finnsnes.. My Birth and former Hometown :)

[@T1DWanderer]

Wow cool! A real Finnsnesian here :)

[@sonnyhanssen4598]

It is buses which godes to the different places. Not ferries. Do you think we have so many ferries herre?

[@T1DWanderer]

I wanted to believe ;)

[@joahanse]

[@BobbyJett1]

Yeah, I don’t think I would be splashing water on my face from that crappy water with what looked like a dead fish floating about 4 feet away. Just saying…. 😂

[@T1DWanderer]

Heh, and even worse, I keep doing it on this trip. Even felt a bit ill one day (in Alta). I wonder if it was because...........?

[@ruff500]
