Askjelldalsvatnet is a lake in the municipality of Vaksdal in Vestland county, Norway.[1] The lake lies at an elevation of 805 metres (2,641 ft) in the Vikafjell mountains between the valleys of Modalen and Eksingedalen. The 2.84-square-kilometre (1.10 sq mi) lake has a dam at the southern end of the lake.
