Filefjell

Filefjell is a mountainous area in Norway. It is located in an area where three counties meet. It lies between Lærdal Municipality in the Vestland county in the west and Vang Municipality in Innlandet county in the east and it lies north of Hemsedal Municipality in Buskerud county. It is the historical, as well as modern, main route, linking Western Norway and Eastern Norway. The European route E16 highway passes through Filefjell.

==Etymology== Filefjell or sometimes Fillefjell, might be a double-name as "file" is thought to be derived from Old Norse word Fjáll, the same root that evolved into the modern word "fjell". Thus Filefjell in English would be "Mountain-Mountain".
