Gudbrandsjuvet (route 63)

Ravine through which the Valldøla River forces itself.
According to a story from the 1500's, the ravine was named after a poor man called Gudbrand, who ran off with his new bride and saved himself from his angry pursuers (the villagers raised by the wealthy father of the bride) by jumping over the ravine at its narrowest point, his bride on his shoulders. Gudbrand was declared an outlaw for his deeds, and lived the rest of his life in a stone hut in one of the side-valleys above Gudbrandsjuvet ("juvet" is Norwegian for gorge). The valley is still called Gudbrandsdalen ("dalen" is Norwegian for valley) to this day.
