    Default Hallingdal


    In the hardened days of yore
    when with beer and brawn
    the knives of Halling Dale
    from their sheats were often drawn
    when women to the feast
    funeral shirts would bring
    with which they would swathe
    their dead husbands in - excerpt from the first verse of Fanitullen

    The old norse name for Hallingdal was Haddingjadalr after the Haddingjar(The longhaired)
    The original name of the Norwegian valley Hallingdal was Haddingjadalr. Local legends state that Hadding was a king of this valley, and that it was named after him. After him, his sons, the two Haddings, fought over control of the valley. One of them was killed, and was buried in a mound in Gol, still known for sightings of huldufolk.
