Nisser is an idyllic lake and part of the Arendal watercourse.
The name comes from the Old Norse “Niðsær” which means “the lower lake”.
The upper lake is Vråvatn, which is connected to Nisser via the locks in Vrådal (Små- and Storstraum).
Enjoy a great trip starting from Straand Sommerland and discover the village in a new way.
Paddle along the shore, past the outlet of the Eidsto river and on to the center of Vrådal.
You can extend the trip further past the center and out to Småstraum lock.
Experience the locks up close, but make sure there are plenty of currents in the water at the lock.
Return back the same way and enjoy the peaceful walk.
