In Vinje municipality you’ll find hundreds of small and large lakes that together cover an area of 250 km².
This beautiful region is blessed with relatively calcareous bedrock, which has protected the local lakes and rivers from the damaging effects of acid precipitation that threatens inland fish throughout southern Norway.
This ensures that most of the lakes here have high-quality fish, and the abundance of crustaceans on the menu gives the trout and char their delicious red-colored meat.
Rauland, Haukeli and Vinje have an impressive and varied offering for anyone who loves fishing.
To be allowed to fish in these fantastic lakes, you need to buy a fishing license for the specific lake you want to explore.
