Vestbygda, Buskerud

Rudselva River from Olde bru

Vestbygda is a village in the municipality of Sigdal, in the county of Buskerud, Norway.

Vestbygda is located just west of Sokna in the valley of Soknedalen. This part of the valley is characterized by agriculture along the lakes and coniferous forests along the hillsides. Vestbygda belongs to the Lunder parish, with Lunder Church (Lunder kyrkje) as the main church.[1]

Vestbygda stretches south along the lakes Torevannet and Bliksrudlangevannet to the border with Krødsherad. The village extends southwest from Olde bru over the Rudselva river and south to the forest in Brekkebygda.

Vestbygda Road (Vestbygdveien) or Fv 179 (Solli - Sokna Sentrum ved Sokna) runs from National Highway 7 (Riksvei 7) at Sokna along the north side of the river and west along lake Torevannet and the Eidselva river through Vestbygda to Solli by Eidsdammen in the village of Bjørkelangen in Aurskog, Akershus County where the road again meets National Highway 7.[2][3]
