Tverrelvdalen
Encyclopedia
Tverrelvdalen is a small village in the municipality of Alta
, Norway
. Its population is 296. There is a small local shop there, well-known in the area for their good treatment of customers. A little school is also situated in the valley.
"Tverr-elv-dalen" literally means "Cross-river-valley", which is a somewhat misleading name; only one river runs through the valley, and it does not cross itself. The river presents little-to-non fishing-opportunities, and is more commonly used for bathing on the rare hot summer-day.
Tverrelvdalen has approximatively 1000 inhabitants, but alas, there is no reference, so we stick to 399.
Though certainly not a particularly big place, Tverrelvdalen has produced an infamous cross-country-skier: Finn-Haagen Krogh. He placed second in a competition in Falun, beaten only by Petter Northug Jr.
All in all, it is a most peculiar place.
