Velsvik

Velsvika is the colloquial name for the three farms Velsvika, Koppen and Høystøylen, which today is considered one small village. Although located where the Voldsfjord, Ørstafjord and Vartdalsfjord meets, it is sociopolitically considered part of the Dalsfjord, due to its historical ties with the other villages there and the fact that it was included in the former municipality of Dalsfjord.
