Mjøsa is Norway 's largest lake as well as the one of the deepest lakes in Norway and in Europe as a whole after Hornindalsvatnet. Vorma is a river in Norway that brings water from lake Mjøsa into the Glomma river Romerike is a traditional district located north-east of Oslo, in what is today south-eastern Norway.
