Brumunda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brumunda is a river in Hedmark, Norway. It comes from Brumundsjøen in Vang over the border into Ringsaker north of Høljemyra and continues in a southerly direction to the south of Bersbuseter. It ends at Brumunddal, the largest settlement in Ringsaker municipality of Hedmark, ending in lake Mjøsa a few kilometres north of Hamar.

Brumunda serves as the border between Furnes and Veldre, and was during the Middle Ages the border between southern and northern Hedemarken. It still serves as the border between the southern and northern variants of the Hedmarksk dialect. North of the river people use ei and øy, while on the south side they say e and ø.

Brumunddal is the largest settlement in the Ringsaker municipality of Hedmark, Norway. It is a small, densely populated area surrounded by scenic countryside and farms on the eastern shore of Norway's largest lake: Mjøsa. Other attractions include the rolling hills of Veldre, which offer spectacular views over the lake and lower lands.

The town is situated at the end of river Brumunda, running from the highlands into lake Mjøsa. It lies a few kilometers (and fewer miles) north of Hamar.
