Today’s walk was just a short stretching of our legs on a drive. However this was one of the Inderøy walks this year and we got points for taking it.
“Tjønna” in Norwegian would be best translated as “tern”, or a little lake. Mosvik has a lot of lakes and many of them would be good fishing lakes. This one has been improved with a picnic area and places for people who use wheelchairs to go fishing. If you want to fish in lakes, you have to have a fishing card for the area you want to fish.
Information on one of the signs says that a fishing card for this lake costs NOK 20 and is good for 4 hours. Children up to the age of 15 and the handicapped can fish free.
Entrance to the built up area around the little lake.This is a short walk of only 400 meters around part of a small lake. There are three places for fishing, otherwise it is quite swampy close to the lake.There were quite a few picnic benches and several places with roofs.More seating area, with the mandatory grill place to the left. You can see the little lake in the background.This is an easy walk and suitable for wheelchairs. It is the North Trøndelag Sports Club that has sponsored the work here.One of the fishing places, adapted for wheelchair users.The path has been put far enough away from the lake to be solid.In several places there were wooden benches to just sit and enjoy the view over the lake.On the far side of the lake, there is another open grill place with its own picnic bench and supply of firewood. There was still a bit of snow left on the ground. We are at over 200 meters above sea level here.This is where the water leaves the lake and heads to another larger lake, Meltingvatnet. Note how there is a very sturdy grate in the stream. This is to prevent the fish in the lake from leaving.Here the water is flowing downhill.We got to the goal of the walk.The third fishing spot. You can see where we started from on the opposite side of the lake.Though there were pine and spruce trees near the lake, we are at over 200 meters above sea level, so it is neither warm nor a long growing season here. Many of the trees looked quite stunted.Back at the parking area, there was a place to put garbage. There are many cabins in the area and this would be where they could deposit their garbage.Humans too have bodily needs which require the use of the little red building.
