Gol

The Hallingdalselva and the broad Hallingdal valley define much of Gol, shaping a community where farming, road travel and mountain-based recreation meet. Set in Buskerud, Gol is an important junction on routes between eastern Norway, Bergen and the mountain area around Hemsedal. Forested slopes rise from the settled valley, while rivers and smaller streams remain a constant part of the local terrain. Gol is also associated with its medieval stave church, preserved today at the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. Traditional Hallingdal folk culture, including the energetic halling dance, gives the area a distinct regional identity.
