The Norwegian County Road 33 runs from Odnes in the southeast through Dokka, past Nordsinni and westwards to Etnedal and Bjørgo. Norwegian County Road 245 runs to the south from Dokka, along the west side of the Randsfjorden to Bjoneroa. Norwegian County Road 250 heads north from Dokka towards Aust-Torpa.[3] In 2002, Dokka celebrated its 100th anniversary.


Name


The village is named after the local river Dokka, a tributary of the river Etna. The name of the river Dokka is derived from the Old Norse word dökk which means "hollow" or "depression".[3]

Fun fact: The word dokka (どっか)is a slang term meaning "somewhere" in Japanese. By saying Dokka-toiu-dokka-ni-iku you are essentially saying "I'm going somewhere called Dokka."
