Telemark

Telemark stretches from the seacoast with its many islands and fjords over a relatively broad countryside and on to an upland region with steep and narrow valleys, and finally up to more mountainous districts. This part of Norway has several lengthy river systems and large lakes. A waterway starting at the coast is navigable to Telemark's far western districts. Old mountain routes link the district with southern and western Norway.
