Lake Lovatnet (Norway)

The lake is located in the municipality of Stryn (the closest village is Loen, 1.2 miles), 52 meters above sea level, and is close to 7 miles in length. Lovatnet is fed by the surrounding mountains, including several glaciers, which is why the water is a beautiful turquoise blue. If you plan to kayak, canoe, or paddleboard on the lake, parking and direct access to the shoreline is located at the Kjenndalstova Restaurant (Lodalsvegen 1623, 6789, Loen). A toll is required to access the Fv723 road/parking, but the nominal fee (around $5) is absolutely worth it. If you continue past the restaurant, the road takes you to the breathtaking Kjenndal Glacier viewpoint, which is not to be missed.
