Vestre Jakobselv

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vestre Jakobselv (Ánnejohka in Northern Sami, Annijoki in Finnish) is a tiny community by the 25 miles long Jakobselva River - Jacob's River in English - coming from the mountains at the Varanger Peninsula in the extreme north-eastern Norway.

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.
