Sima Valley

The Sima Valley^[2][3][4] (Norwegian: Simadal) is a river valley in the municipality of Eidfjord in Vestland county, Norway.^[5] The 8-kilometre (5.0 mi) long valley begins below Lake Rembesdal, with an elevation of 905 meters (2,969 ft), which is one of the sources of the Sima River. The valley then runs west along the river to the Sima Hydroelectric Power Station at the head of the Simadal Fjord, where the river empties into the fjord.
