description
Approach and maritime conditions: Sør-Lenangen is located far out on the Ullsfjord side of the Lyngen Peninsula. The fjord is shallow, so stay in the middle of the fairway during the approach. In Sør-Lenangen, conditions are always calmer than in Ullsfjorden just outside, regardless of wind direction.
Anchoring: The shallow fjord offers good anchoring opportunities with sandy and clay bottom within the breakwater at Lenangsøyra. Anchoring depth is 4-10 meters. The Lyngen Alps provide good shelter from easterly winds, but note that waves can break mid-fjord at low tide with strong northwesterly winds.
The area: Excellent hiking opportunities in the Lyngen Alps and the surrounding area if you have a dinghy to go ashore with. At the innermost part of the fjord, there is a large cloudberry marsh that is popular in the summer months. There is also a marked trail that leads to the famous Blåisvatnet.
