Fishing, paddling and nature experiences

Longvikvatn, Tansvatn and Podden are nice areas for those who want a quiet day out in nature. The area is well suited for paddling, and at normal water levels you can row between the lakes.

Bring a packed lunch and spend the day exploring the idyllic surroundings along the shoreline. Here you can enjoy the silence, fish from shore or boat, and maybe be lucky enough to spot beavers in action on quiet summer evenings.

This is a nature experience you don't want to miss!
