About the Nissedal district
Nissedal covers an area of 908 km2 and has 1400 inhabitants. Nisser, the largest lake in Telemark, is a feature of the landscape, with its inviting sandy beaches and rock slopes surrounded by bare, majestic mountains. The 40 kilometre long, 250 metre deep lake has clean, clear drinking water. Nissedal got its name from Lake Nisser, most likely from the old Norse «Nidrsær», which means «The lower lake». Around Lake Nisser are rare rock carvings, burial mounds and many other remains of ancient civilisation.
In the forest and moorlands in Nissedal there is a total of 1750 larger and smaller lakes. Nissedal is a paradise if you enjoy swimming, and there is a 1-kilometer long sandy beach at Fjone. The conditions are also excellent for canoeing, boating, and fishing in the lakes and rivers. The climate is very good, and the surroundings are very inviting for tramping in summer and winter. Businesses in the district are varied. Important industries are farming and forestry, fur farming, power supply and tourism.
