Åbjør

Åbjør is a small rural area in the eastern Norway region known as Valdres.

[citation needed] The area used to house a local school and general store, but these were closed down.

[citation needed] Åbjør gets its name from the river Åbjøra which runs through the area.

The section of the river that passes through Åbjør has been named the local "Grand Canyon" by several books and tourist brochures.

Some tourists take a break on their way from Gol to Fagernes or Oslo along the roadside to admire the view.
