At Sørengvatn lies an old land cabin from the 1930s,  originally used for forestry. We have kept this cabin in its original state,  with minor modernization to make it more comfortable. 

Sørengvatnet lies at the inner part of the Eide water system, between the mountain lake Søbergsvatnet and Storvatnet. Guests living here enjoy the same Fishing rights and possibilities as our guests at Kalbekkvika. In our opinion, the land cabin has  charm and  atmosphere, but it is much more primitive than the cabin at Kalbekkvika. The cabin at Sørengvatn is best suited for  2-4 people. There are no other cabins in the area. You can park your car about 300 meters from the cabin, using an old dirt road that is closed for normal traffic.

Sørengvatn lies in the center of an area with a rich and special nature. Parts of this area has recently been put under special restrictions by the government due to its special biolandy.  The area has the densest population of moose in the region. In addition to  very good Fishing after trout in several lakes, you will have very good Fishing after Sea trout and  salmon in the main water system. There are also natural chalk caves that can be explored, and one of Norway's best zoolandical gardens can be reached by car. See our things to do list for the area. 

PS: The description of the fishing at Kalbekkvika and Sørengvatn are almost identical. Even though the cabins lie several km apart, they share the same fishing area

Sea trout and salmon fishing:

Søbergsåa:  A two km long river runs between Sørengvatn and Storvatnet. The lower 1 km of this river has Sea trout and salmon, and can best be fished with spinning bait or spoon bait. There are also good spots for fly Fishing. The river is small and parts of the river is calm. There are pools that are good for dry fly fishing.

Storvatnet/ Fjellvatnet: The cabin lies next to Storvatnet, a lake that connects to Fjellvatnet through a narrow passage. Fjellvatnet ends up at Øvereidet, a short river where we have another cabin, approximately 13 km downstream. The lakes are (tandether with Urvold) considered to be the best in the region for Fishing Sea trout and salmon.  The Sea trout has an average weight of about 1 kg, the salmon an average weight of 2 kg. The lakes also have a good population of trout and arctic char. Of the anadromous species, about 80% of the fish caught are Sea trout. Most Fishing techniques are used. For salmon, a shiny or blue spoon bait can be effective. For the Sea trout, a spinning bait is often effective. Boat etc. is included in the rent. 

Øvereidet / Eidevatn: The eastern side of the river at Øvereidet is open for our guests at Sørengvatn. This is a short and swift river. See description for  Øvereidet. Also the last lake in this river system, Eidevatnet, is available for our guests, but boat needs to be reserved for this lake.

Trout fishing:
Our guests have also fishing rights in several lakes both in the lowlands and in the mountains. We bo not sell loose fishing cards, but the local population are allowed to fish in some of the lakes. In general, this is not a crowded place, and you can experience walking for days in the mountain without meeting other people. The description below starts at the fjord and lists smaller lakes in further up in the water system: (The area is used by our guests at Øvereidet, Kalbekkvika and Sørengvatn.)

Lower Urdstjørn, 45 masl:Trout lake with fish up to about 0,5-0,7 kg. It is normally easy to catch the trout. There is a small rowing boat in the lake.

Elisabethtjørna, 238 masl:The lake is not named on the map, but lies northwest of Upper Urstjønn. The conditions for spawning is not very good. Therefore there are few fish there, but the fish has good quality and size.

Upper Urdstjørn, 307 masl This is a trout lake with fish of very high quality and good size. (Up to 3 kg.) The fish is shy, so fishing is best when there is some wind, when the weather is overcast or rainy, or during the night.  There are good places to camp for the night. The scenery is beautiful and you can explore a large natural chalk cave near by
