This area presently is a major tourist destination for Norwegians from Oslo and regions south. The river affords good fishing and wonderful views of the valley. It also contains part of Norway's first national park.

Finn Tjøstolvsen Hundorp, 1275 is believed to be the father of Alv Finnsen according to the following record.

Alv Finnsen

Letter of power of attorney from Alv Finnsson for Alv Håkonsson

Certificate of sale from Håkon Tjostolvsson, Guttorm Eiriksson's sheriff, and Guttorm at Hundorp: They were at Hundorp in Fron, when Turid Håkonsdatter with her ombudsman Finn Tjostolvsson sold to Hønse Jonsson what she had inherited from her father in Oskehaug in Øyer; she got 2 kyrlag and had then received full payment. - Present were Eirik skjegg, Torljot, Arne ryt, Ogmund rigi and Jon gyllte. Sealed by the issuers [and the witnesses?] ». [Records of Tore-Nygaard 2020]

The listed relatives seem to have stayed in the area for a couple of hundred years. They may have been involved in farming and logging. In the early years the river could have provided easy transportation of logs to the south end of Lake Mjøsa at Minnesund, nearly 174 kilometers.

Although the church in the distance is quite the landmark, this particular church was not built until 1792. The previous church was probably a stave church such as seen in Lom.
