Otredal

Otredal follows the Otra River through the inland valleys of Agder towards the southern Norwegian coast. The river descends from the high country through lakes and rapids before reaching the sea near Kristiansand. Farms occupy the valley floor and slopes, with forest and mountain beyond. Farther north the valley is known as Setesdal, a district whose communities long maintained their own local traditions while sharing a river route towards the coast.
