Tungeneset is the most photographed viewpoint on Senja. A short boardwalk leads from the car park out to a rocky headland facing the Okshornan peaks, a row of jagged teeth rising straight out of the sea. The locals call them Oksen, the ox, though most visitors know them as the Devil's Teeth.
The rest area was designed by Code Arkitektur as part of the National Tourist Route and includes a wooden walkway, benches and a toilet. The walk from the car park to the viewpoint takes about five minutes.
This is the place where the wild Atlantic side of Senja shows itself best. In the evening and at night during summer, the midnight sun lights the peaks from the side and turns the sea gold. In winter the same spot works for northern lights if the sky is clear.
Parking fills up quickly on summer days. Try early morning or late evening. The viewpoint is exposed to wind and spray, so dress for it even in July.
