Lensvik

Lensvik is a village and former municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality was created January 1 1905 when it was separated from Rissa. At this point Lensvik had a population of 1.019.

On January 1 1964 Lensvik, then with 1.136 inhabitants, was merged with part of Agdenes as well as Ingdalen district in Stadsbygd to the new municipality Agdenes.

Bi-annually, Lensvik holds Street-Meat's bolstering the largest engines driven by the largest ego's. It's not uncommon to see a large plume of smoke hovering over one of the main parking lots in the City's central. Families come out and bring the young to see the festivities which include smoking tires from street rods to ATV's. There are even a couple Arctic Ramblers pushing several hundred horsepower that can turn the tires to the tune of a loud squeal.

Lensvik also happens to be the strawberry capitol of Norway. The strawberries are sought after as far as the United States as well as France at one point in time. The strawberry season runs from July to August. The first week of July also holds the annual strawberry festival.

Weather touring the landscape on a kick or a tractor, you are always guaranteed something spectacular. Come to visit Lensvik and see for yourself.
