Dokka: Oppland, Norway: Gamlevegen
Dokka is best known within Innlandet for serving as the administrative centre of Nordre Land municipality. The town stands beside the Dokka River near the northern end of Randsfjorden, Norway’s fourth-largest lake, where the river’s mouth forms the Dokkadeltaet wetlands. Low, wooded hills and farming country shape the surrounding district, while Dokka itself has a compact centre and residential streets. Lands Museum, an open-air museum with historic buildings and collections from the Land district, gives the town a clear link to local rural traditions. Dokka is also associated with the former Valdres Line railway, whose route once connected this part of Innlandet with the national rail network.

The town lies near the northern end of Randsfjorden, a long Norwegian lake, with wooded hills and agricultural land beyond its compact centre. In 2002, Dokka received the designation landsby, meaning “village town”, becoming the first place in Norway to do so; the title remains part of its local identity.
