Jakobselva (Northern Sami: Ánnejohka; Kven: Annijoki; English: Jacob's River) is a river in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The river, which is sometimes known as the Vestre Jakobselv (Western Jacob's River), runs through the municipalities of Nesseby and Vadsø on the Varanger Peninsula. The river begins around the mountain Midthaugen in Nesseby, near the border with Tana Municipality. It then winds its way down through a lush birch wood valley along the municipal border between Nesseby and Vadsø to the village of Vestre Jakobselv where it completes its 50-kilometre (31 mi) journey and empties into the Varangerfjorden.[1]

[de] Jakobselva (Vadsø)
Die Jakobselva (nordsamisch: Ánnejohka, finnisch Annijoki) ist ein Fluss in den Kommunen Vadsø und Nesseby in der Fylke Troms og Finnmark in Nord-Norwegen. Der Fluss wird auch als Vestre Jakobselva (Vestre=deutsch „Westliche“) bezeichnet zur Unterscheidung des gleichnamigen Flusses an der norwegisch-russischen Grenze. Der Fluss hat seinen Ursprung im Zentrum der Varangerhalbinsel. Er fließt in südlicher Richtung und mündet bei dem Ort Vestre Jakobselv – 17 km westlich von Vadsø – in den Varangerfjord. Der Fluss verläuft streckenweise im Varangerhalvøya-Nationalpark.- [en] Jakobselva (Vadsø)

Lo Jakobselva (in sami settentrionale Ánnejohka, in Kven Annijoki) è un fiume lungo 50 km che scorre nella penisola di Varanger, nella Norvegia nord-orientale. Non va confuso con l'omonimo fiume al confine tra Russia e Norvegia, motivo per cui il primo viene anche chiamato Vestre Jakobselv (Jakobselva occidentale), toponimo utilizzato anche per il villaggio nei pressi della foce dello stesso fiume[1].Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
