Vosso[1] is a river in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The river starts at Tvildemoen in Vossavangen, where the two rivers Strandaelvi and Raundalselvi meet. The 30-kilometre (19 mi) long river continues through the lakes Vangsvatnet and Evangervatnet before ending in the Bolstadfjorden at the village of Bolstadøyri. Between the lake Evangervatnet and the Bolstadfjorden the river is also called Bolstadelvi. The river has a drainage basin of 1,496.5 square kilometres (577.8 sq mi). In 1986 the river was protected from water power development through "Verneplan III for vassdrag".[2][3]
