Name

The first element (Fe- or Fem-) has no known meaning, and the last element is the suffix -mund or -und (both are common in Norwegian place names).[1]

History

After Sweden had conquered the parishes of Idre and Särna in 1644 lake Femunden was considered to be part of the border between Norway and Sweden. But this was never officially recognised by Norway (or in reality by the Danish government, since Norway was ruled from Copenhagen in the early modern age), and during border adjustments in 1751 the Femundsmarka area east of the lake was granted to Norway from Sweden. The new (and current) border from 1751 is quite special: For a length of Шаблон:Convert, it makes a completely straight line between the summits of the Шаблон:Convert tall mountain Våndsjögusten and the Шаблон:Convert tall mountain Østerhogna. Straight-line national borders are very unusual in Scandinavia, except in the very northernmost parts.
