Vestre Jakobselv
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vestre Jakobselv (Ánnejohka in Northern Sami, Annijoki in Finnish) is a tiny community in Vadsø municipality in the extreme north-eastern Norway. It is situated by the 25 miles long Jakobselva River - Jacob's River in English - coming from the mountains of the Varanger Peninsula.
The Jakobselva River winds its way down through a lush birch wood valley, on its way to the Varanger Fjord.
The river is known to be a superb sport fishing river, with a lot of big salmon.
Vestre Jakobselv is home to the 3rd division soccer club, IL Polarstjernen.
