Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
Finse is a mountain village area on the shore of the Lake Finsevatnet in Ulvik municipality in Vestland county. The village is centered on Finse Station, a railway station on the Bergen Line. The village sits at an elevation of 1,222 metres (4,009 ft) above sea level, making it the highest station on the entire Norwegian railway system. The village lies in the eastern part of Ulvik municipality, and it is not easily accessible from the rest of the municipality. There is no road access, only rail. The long Finse Tunnel lies just west of the village area, replacing a difficult section of rail that is frequently blocked by snow and difficult to clear.
