is a town and municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Øst-Telemark. The administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Notodden. Notodden was separated from the municipality of Heddal in 1913 to become a separate town and municipality. On 1 January 1964, the rural municipalities of Heddal and Gransherad were merged into Notodden to form a new enlarged municipality. Notodden is on the shore of Heddalsvatnet lake, and the Tinn river runs through the town into the lake. Norway's biggest stave church, Heddal stave church, can be seen a few kilometres from the town centre. Notodden Airport, Tuven, is located west of the city centre. Norsk Hydro was founded in this town. Notodden is famous for the annual Notodden Blues Festival, which is considered one of the best blues festivals in Europe. It also has a famous metal festival called ''Motstøy Festivalen''. The football club Notodden FK is headquartered here. ==Name== The first element of the name is ''not'' which means "to fish using a seine" and the last element is the finite form of ''odde'' meaning "headland". Thus the general meaning of the name is "the fishing place". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Notodden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
