Vangsvatnet
A high mountain lake beside which the town of Voss sits. A grassy lakeside path connects the church and the station, and visitors can go boating, swimming and enjoy views of snowy peaks reflected in the water.
Vangsvatnet is about 9 km long, and the town of Voss is built on its eastern shore. The railway station, the historic Fleischer's Hotel and the cultural centre are all by the lake. The Prestegardsmoen grassland on the lakeshore has gentle paths and a sandy beach. In summer you can rent kayaks, stand-up paddleboards or go swimming, and on clear days the surrounding snowy mountains are reflected in the lake. The view of the lake and town from the cable car is a classic photo spot. The lakeside path is free, and a walk around the town takes about an hour.
