Tverrådalskyrkja is a mountain on the border between the municipalities of Luster (in Sogn og Fjordane county) and Skjåk (in Oppland county), Norway. It is part of the Breheimen mountain range within Breheimen National Park, just north of the large Harbardsbreen glacier. It is north of the village of Skjolden in Luster and southwest of Bismo in Skjåk. The tall main peak is also called ''Store Tverrådalskyrkja''. About southwest of the main peak, there is a second peak at a height of , called ''Søre Tverrådalskyrkja''. Tverrådalskyrkja can be reached from the Norwegian Mountain Touring Association cabin ''Sotasæter''. Usual access to the peak is over the Fortundalsbreen glacier, then along the eastern ridge. ==Name== The first element is the genitive of the valley name ''Tverrådalen''. The last element is the finite form of ''kyrkje'' which means "church". (Several mountains in Norway are named ''Kyrkja'' because of some likeness in shape with a church.) The first element of the valley name is the river name ''Tverråa'' and the last element is the finite form of ''dal'' which means "dale" or "valley". The river name is a compound of ''tverr'' which means "cross" and the finite form of ''å'' which means "(small) river"—thus it is a "side river" (to a bigger river). ''Store Tverrådalskyrkja'' means "The Big Tverrådalskyrkja" and ''Søre Tverrådalskyrkja'' means "The Southern Tverrådalskyrkja". 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「Tverrådalskyrkja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
