Padleperle 3: Lille Ropelvvatn

# Paddle Pearl 3: Lille Ropelvvatn – Norway's Smallest Adventure Dream of your own mini-Enaresjøen? Lille and Store Ropelvvatn are paddling's hidden treasure in Varanger. Perfect for an afternoon excursion from Kirkenes when late summer and autumn paint the landscape in gold. Start from the north end, paddle across and drag your kayak 50 meters over the portage to the next lake. Here awaits an old wooden boat that quietly tells stories. When you pass the narrow strait with snowmobile trail markers, look for the Perletur mark painted on the rock wall by the water's edge. Sheltered paddling, good cell coverage, and a reminder: the water is a drinking water reservoir for locals. Treat it with respect. Starting point: Parking area at the north end. Short portage, great experience.
