Geography
The municipality is made up mostly of the Eikesdalen valley which surrounds the lake Eikesdalsvatnet. The lake is fed from the lake Aursjøen on the border of Oppland. The water then flows through the river Aura into Eikesdalsvatnet. That water then flows into the Eira River and then on to the Eresfjorden, a branch of the Langfjorden. The mountains Skjorta, Fløtatinden, and Gjuratinden surround the main valley.
