description
Entrance and Maritime Conditions: Jensesund is situated between the islands of Vestre Bolærne and Mellom-Bolærne. The entrance is straightforward, but be aware of shallow areas well marked on the nautical chart. The easiest access is from the north, between Jenseskjær and Mellombolæren. There is a lot of traffic in the strait on good weather days during the high season.
Mooring: Jensesund is a decommissioned coastal fort where you can moor at the guest docks as long as there is space. You can only moor alongside fixed docks or the floating docks that have been laid out. The fixed dock furthest north is reserved for the ferry and taxi boat, as well as for those running the café and sea houses. Spots reserved for these are well signposted. Mooring is easy, but it can be somewhat tight and uncomfortable to maneuver out from the dock in strong side winds.
It is possible to anchor, in moderate winds, between the two islets and Jenseskjær, as well as in the northeastern part of the strait (see separate entry).
There is also a small floating dock towards Mellom-Bolærne, primarily for embarking and disembarking if you want to hike on M-Bolærne. It is relatively shallow at this dock.
The Area: Lovely hiking trail around the island and a large camping area on a meadow a bit north of the docks.
The café and food service are normally open during the holiday season and weekends in the boating season. Check the Facebook page for "Jensesund Havnekro" for information.
There are nesting Sea Eagles on V. Bolærne. The area around the nesting site is protected, and it is not allowed to travel in that part of the island. However, there is a good chance you will see an eagle in the air if you keep an eye out.
There are many traces of military activity on the island that can be exciting to explore. If you are lucky, you may get a glimpse inside the enormous mountain halls that have exits both towards the guest harbor in Jensesund in the east and the deep-water pier on the west side.
On the top of the island lies a large burial mound. Just follow the marked trail on the island, and you will find it.
