Hornindalsvatnet
The deepest lake in Europe, reaching 514 meters, with crystal-clear water, located beside Route 60 on the way from Stryn to Ålesund.
Hornindalsvatnet lies about 20 km west of Stryn and is the deepest recorded lake in Europe, reaching about 514 meters at its deepest point, with the lake bed about 460 meters below sea level. It is famous for its clear water. Route 60 runs along the north shore and passes the village of Grodås, where the lake has sandy beaches, campsites, and small piers. In summer you can swim, paddle a kayak, or go fishing. Grodås has a small folk museum, along with the Anders Svor art museum. It's a good place to stop while driving between Stryn and Ålesund or Geiranger.
