Jægervatnet After an 11 km drive from Svensby, you will arrive at the large lake Jægervatnet. The car park is a good starting point for hikes along the shore of the dark blue glacial lake or a trip by canoe or kayak, if you have one. From the water’s edge, you can see the Midnight Sun on fine evenings from mid-May to mid-July. Just a few kilometres further, you will find another car park. This is a good base for various hikes such as the 4 km hike to the Jægervass cabin (a DNT cabin which you need a key for - https://ut.no/hytte/10972/jgervasshytta) Accommodation: o

Detour: Eat the best and freshest shrimps at Lenangsøyra You can make a detour from the main road to Lenangsøyra, which is 11 km from Jægervatnet. A highlight here is the shrimp factory (Lyngen Reker), which supplies shrimp products all over Scandinavia. These are extremely popular in Sweden but, if you visit the factory, you can buy fresh shrimps virtually straight from the fjord. •
Contact Lyngen Reker on +47 77 71 10 30 if you wish to visit the factory.
Nature experience: We recommend walking along the seashore to the amazing troll-like rock formations “Trollene på Styrmannstø”. Drive to the end of the road in Lenangsøyra, park your car and follow the path along the shore to the lighthouse. It’s best to walk at low tide. NB: Park carefully so you don’t prevent the local bus from turning around.
