Flagstadelva
River in Innlandet, Norway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flagstadelva[1] is a river in Innlandet county, Norway. The 32.6-kilometre (20.3 mi) river begins in the Lavsjømyrene bog areas in northern Løten Municipality. From there it runs in a southerly direction and forms the lake Nybusjøen. The river flows through Hamar Municipality and for a short distance forms the border with Ringsaker Municipality too. The river runs through a v-shaped valley which twists before its mouth at the town of Hamar where it empties into the lake Mjøsa.[2] The river's erosion has exposed the lower Cambrian and middle Cambrian rock formations in that region.[3]
