Mågen Myr

Mårgen Myr (English: Mårgen Marsh) is a large swamp area to the north of Mårgen. A single road (the våt tur/ NRD2) passes through the marsh connecting Leifby and Fergehavn to Mårgen and Dræbyen.

Early History
The marsh has existed long before humans inhabitated finnfearan.

The Våt Tur
In winters the marsh swells and until the 1960s was nearly imposible to cross the western side in bad weather. In 1889 when schooling became compulsory across all of Norway (and subsequently Finnféaran) it was decided to relocate Trömsakken School from Dræbyen to Mårgen to make it easier for students to attend education in the winter. Modern road surfacing has practically negated this issue though there are no plans to move the school back.
