Julussa
Julussa is a 32-kilometre-long (20 mi) river in Hedmark, Norway, starting at Bergesjøen 1043 feet (318 m.o.h.) The name Julussa comes from the old Norwegian word "ljudlausa" which means soundless. The reason for that given name is that the river flows so silently through the valley of Julussdalen. Julussa was very important for timber rafting the timber out of the big forests, from around the mid 16th century until 1969. From Bergesjøen, Julussa flows 32 kilometers until it flows into Renaelva. The place Brattveltdammen along the Julussa is known as a national historic place for the Julussakonflikten in 1927.
