Gjende is the best known lake in the Jotunheimen with boat service on its waters - though not the only one. The lake stretches far into the mountains and the boats plow from the DNT hut at Gjendesheim - on the east end - to the huts at Memurubu - at the lake's midpoint - and Gjendebu - on the lake's west end. The boats offer a quick and easy way to get into the wilds fast.
