Lake Øyeren

We live close to one of the largest lakes here in Norway, lake Øyeren. We are also lucky to have a boat so that we can explore the lake. This summer we made two boat trips on the lake and we were also hiking in the area a couple of times. The lake is popular for migratory birds and attracts bird watchers.

Gansvika is a popular destination for a day trip. You can find a little beach there and a restaurant with a cozy outdoor terrace.
 
 
 
Delicious fish soup.
 
 
The building where the restaurant in Gansvika is located was a sawmill in the old days.
 
Where the river Glomma enters lake Øyeren you can find Fetsund lenser, an old timber floating centre. Nowadays you can learn about the timber floating industry in the museum and you can walk on the water on floating piers.
