Just five kilometers from Øystese, along the county road towards Porsmyr and Fyksesund, lies the charming Goldfish lake, also known as Gullfiskvatnet. Since 1914, this lake has been home to golden ide, a fish species rarely found in Europe.
Gullfiskvatnet is a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike. Here, you can feed the vibrant fish, which often swim near the surface and are easy to spot. The area around the lake is well-equipped with picnic spots, swimming areas, and ample parking, making it an ideal outing for families and friends.
The lake gained national attention when it was featured on Norwegian television in 2009.
