Åna-Sira

Åna-Sira is a village in southwestern Norway, sitting mostly in Sokndal municipality in Rogaland county, but a small portion lies in Flekkefjord municipality in Vest-Agder county. The village is located at the mouth of the river Sira where it flows south into Åna fjord (hence the name of the village). The fjord and river form the county border with Rogaland and Vest-Agder counties. The Åna-Sira Bridge crosses the river connecting the two parts of the village. The village is the southernmost village in Rogaland county.
