Numedalslågen is a river in Norway. It is considered to be the second longest river in Southern Norway. It is located in the Numedal valley which runs through the counties of Vestfold, Buskerud and Vestland. At long, it is one of the longest rivers in Norway.
==Location== Numedalslågen begins on the Hardangervidda plateau and it collects in the lake Nordmannslågen which flows into the lake Bjornefjorden before it flows into the main channel of the river. From the Bjornesfjorden, the main river stretches for over through the counties of Buskerud and Vestfold and then meeting the ocean at the Larviksfjorden at the town of Larvik. Numedalslågen is one of Norway's longest rivers, beginning in Eidfjord Municipality and then running through the municipalities of Nore og Uvdal, Hol, Rollag, Flesberg, Kongsberg, and Larvik. These municipalities cooperate in the administration and use of resources connected to the river in various projects under the Green Valley (Grønn Dal) umbrella.
