This locality is located outside the border of the Hardangervidda National park. (Collecting inside the national park is strictly forbidden). It should be noted though, that this localitity has been staked out as a claim , and according to norwegian mining laws it is considered as a theft to collect at this site without permission from the holder of the claim. Even so, at the end of the 1990s several people collected here illegally more than 200 pieces of anatase specimens and sold it to mineral shows in USA and Germany. Some collectors have thus been legally prosecuted. Specimens of anatase from this locality have been erroneously labelled as coming from "Valdres", probably to avoid prosecution or to keep the locality a secret.
