caption_attribution_description: English: Overview over the fjord Jøssingfjord in Norway.
context_page_description: Jøssingfjorden is a fjord in Sokndal municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 3-kilometre long fjord is narrow and deep and is surrounded by mountains. It sits about 4 kilometres southeast of the municipal centre of Hauge. There is some settlement on the southeastern side of the fjord: the villages of Li, Vinterstø, and Bu. There is a road that runs along the southeast coast of the fjord, with sharp hairpin turns leading down from the mountains to the shore of the fjord both heading north and south from the fjord.
  The Tellnes mine, one of Norway's largest titanium mines, is located in the mountains about 4 kilometres northeast of the fjord. The mine is run by a company called Titania, and the fjord is used as the shipping port for the company. The Nedre Helleren Power Plant is located at the head of the fjord. The electricity is generated by water from lakes located high in the mountains and the water is piped down to the sea level power plant the force of the falling water produces the electricity.
  At the head of the fjord is the small Helleren farm which is now abandoned.
context_section_description: Jøssingfjorden is a fjord in Sokndal municipality in Rogaland county, Norway.  The 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) long fjord is narrow and deep and is surrounded by mountains.  It sits about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southeast of the municipal centre of Hauge.  There is some settlement on the southeastern side of the fjord: the villages of Li, Vinterstø, and Bu.  There is a road that runs along the southeast coast of the fjord, with sharp hairpin turns leading down from the mountains to the shore of the fjord both heading north and south from the fjord.

The electricity is generated by water from lakes located high in the mountains and the water is piped down to the sea level power plant the force of the falling water produces the electricity.
  At the head of the fjord is the small Helleren farm which is now abandoned.  It sits in a narrow valley with steep rock cliffs on two sides, a rock scree on the third side, and the fjord on the fourth side.  The base of one of the rock cliffs stops about 8 metres (26 ft) above the ground forming a rock shelter, or heller (hence the name of the farm).  The farm is preserved and is now owned by the Dalane folk museum.
  Jøssingfjord is a place of iconic importance in the history of Norwegian anti-fascism.
