Hiking
M/S Fæmund II gives you a fantastic start on your hike in Femundsmarka. The traditional boat has carried passengers and goods over Lake Femund for over a century. The lake is one of the biggest lakes in Norway and along the shore you find many starting points for various hikes in and around Femundsmarka. The terrain in Femundsmarka is varied, ranging from forests and swamps to high mountains and open plateaus. Femundsmarka and its unique nature gives you easy access to real wildnerness hikes!
Femundsmarka lies on both sides of Lake Femund and is part of the largest untouched wilderness area in all of the Southern Scandinavia. This area consist of nine protected nature areas stretching far out on both sides of the boarder between Norway and Sweden. Lake Femund is the third largest lake in Norway going 60 km from north to south.
The M/S Fæmund II stops at several great places to start your hike – Røa, Haugen, Revlingen, Femundshytten, Jonasvollen, Buvika and Elgå. For day-trips, we recommend you to choose Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays when the boat takes its extended route all the way down to Buvika.
