Åbjør
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Åbjør is a small rural area in the eastern Norway region known as Valdres. It is a farming area ("bygd") that covers approximately 30 dairy farms. Estimated population is 200-250.[citation needed]
The area used to house a local school and general store, but these were closed down. Today the only bus that stops in the area is the bus to Gol from Fagernes, but it runs infrequently, and only has three stops in Åbjør, none of which is in the center of the area.[citation needed]
Åbjør gets its name from the river Åbjøra which runs through the area. The section of the river that passes through Åbjør has been named the local "Grand Canyon" by several books and tourist brochures.[citation needed] Some companies take tourists on guided walks down the river.[citation needed]
