Follow the EV1, don't follow the bridge from Gryllefjord through the tunnel and you will get a fantastic view to the other side of the Fjord. The road to the other side is closed but with a bike or also walking you can go there and reach the other side of the tunnel. It's an impressive view and a wild way down. It's worth it and a great welcoming from Senia if you arrive with the ferry.
