Øvrebø

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Øvrebø is a rural district situated some 25 km north-northwest of Kristiansand in Norway. Formerly a municipality in its own right, it was merged in 1964 into the enlarged Vennesla municipality.

Øvrebø's centre is the settlement of Skarpengland, which houses, amongst other facilities, a bank, a post office, several stores, a motor repair shop, and a school. Øvrebø is known for the "Øvrebø ski", found at Mushom and considered for many years to be Norway's oldest preserved ski. It can be seen in the Holmenkollen Ski Museum in Oslo.
