Vinje

Built around mountain farms and the waterways of upper Telemark, Vinje grew into a far-flung rural municipality in southern Norway. Its terrain runs from settled valleys to high plateaux, with Hardangervidda National Park reaching into the municipality and Lake Møsvatn lying near its northern mountain country. The E134 crosses Vinje over Haukelifjell, linking eastern and western Norway through a pass long important for overland travel. Vinje is also the birthplace of Aasmund Olavsson Vinje, the nineteenth-century writer and journalist whose work helped establish written Nynorsk.
