About: Vrådal

An Entity of Type: village, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Vrådal, formerly spelled Wraadahl, is a village in Kviteseid municipality, Norway. The village had a population of 220 as of 1 January 2009. The centre of the village is at Eidstod, which lies at the eastern end of the lake, where it flows into lake Nisser. The economy is based on tourism (hotels, camping and a ski-centre), light industry, and small-scale logging. The name probably derives from the old Norse vrá/ró which means "step", probably used to refer to farms which lay a little remotely - but it could also come from the fact that the valley is curved or "stepped".

  • Vrådal is een dorp in de Noorse gemeente Kviteseid, provincie Vestfold og Telemark. Het centrum is dat aan de monding van bij het meer Nisser ligt. Vrådal telt 215 inwoners (2007) en heeft een oppervlakte van 0,73 km². Het dorp krijgt het meeste inkomen uit het toerisme (hotels, camping en skicenter), verder uit de kleinindustrie en de bossen. De naam Vrådal stamt waarschijnlijk van het Oudnoorse vrá/ró, hetgeen zoiets betekent als '(uit)hoek/bocht'. Dit werd vaak gebruikt in namen van boerderijen die wat verder weg lagen. Een andere duiding kan zijn dat het dorp gelegen is waar het dal een bocht maakt. (nl)
