Vestre Jakobselv

Vestre Jakobselv (Norwegian), Ánnejohka (Northern Sami), or Annijoki (Kven)[3] is a village in Vadsø Municipality in Finnmark county, in extreme northeastern Norway.

The village lies along the European route E75 highway about 17 kilometres (11 mi) west of the town of Vadsø and the same distance east of the village of Nesseby in neighboring Nesseby Municipality.

The river winds its way down from the mountains through a lush birch wood valley all the way to the fjord.
