VATNSHOLTSVOTN

Region: West Iceland
Coordinates: 64.8035° N 23.21923° W

Two lakes, located together, bear this name. Their total area is about 0,57 km², greatest depth 8 m and they are located 6 m above mean sea level. Road 54 passes just south of them.

The permits are valid for both and their number is not limited. The catch consists of lake char, brown trout and sea trout. The char is usually rather small, 300 g, and the trout around 2 pounds. The lakes are fished the whole year around and it is possible to rent boats.

The distance from the capital is 172 km and 98 km from Borgarnes.
