Tyin
The Norwegian County Road 53 runs along the south side of the lake (Tyin–Årdal) and the Norwegian County Road 252 runs along the east side of the lake (Tyin–Eidsbugarden) and both roads connect to the European route E16 highway to the south.
In 1869, the Norwegian Mountain Touring Association (DNT) built its first cabin, which was located on the shores of Tyin. Today, the DNT's tourist cabins make this area, just to the south of Jotunheim National Park, one of the best developed touring areas in Europe. There are also a restricted number of private cabins by the lake.
Name
The name of the lake is derived from the name of the river Tya, the river that connects the lake to Årdalsvatnet and the Sognefjord. The meaning of the river name is unknown.
