Lågendalen near Komnes

Lågendalen forms the lower part of the valley through which the Numedalslågen flows between Kongsberg in Buskerud and Larvik in Vestfold. North of Kongsberg, the valley is known as Numedal.[5] Lågendalen includes parts of the municipalities of Larvik, Lardal and Kongsberg. The valley is relatively flat, characterized by farmland and wooded hills. Lågendalen is most commonly known for potato cultivation and salmon fishing. Lågendalen is also the location of several Medieval era stone churches: Hedrum Church, Hem Church, Efteløt Church and Hedenstad Church.[6][7][8][9]

gollark: Also, I have absolutely no idea where I could source replacements for half the hardware from.
gollark: osmarks.net is fairly reliable, except for the fact that my internet connection randomly fails occasionally, and my server's backups would take some time to restore from.
gollark: That was just a possible patch for the 100.4% uptime thing.
