Etnedal is a municipality in the county of Oppland, Norway.

Geography

Etnedal is bordered on the east by Nordre Land, on the south by Sør-Aurdal, and on the west and north by Nord-Aurdal.

Etnedal is part of the Valdres landscape in central, southern Norway, situated between Gudbrandsdal and Hallingdal. Valdres also includes the municipalities Nord-Aurdal, Sør-Aurdal, Øystre Slidre, Vestre Slidre, and Vang.

The river Etna flows through the muncipality, then into Nordre Land muncipality and then down into Randsfjorden.

Economics

Occupations in the municipality include animal husbandry and lumbering, but there is also some industry and tourism.

What to see in Etnedal Municipality

The old King's road to Bergen passes through this area. The Etnedal coat of arms shows the old stone bridge Lundebru, which is Northern Europe's largest stone-arch bridge. It was built in 1829 on the King's road. A portion of the King's road was refurbished and turned into a footpath in 1992 and is now a natural and cultural walking path.
