Bakka is a tiny village in Aurland Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located on the western shore of the Nærøyfjord, about north of the village of Gudvangen and access to the European route E16 highway. The village is home to the Bakka Church. In 2000, the 1.7km (01.1miles) Bakka Tunnel was constructed on the road from Gudvangen to Bakka to make the journey quicker and safer.
The name Bakka is derived from the Old Norse word bakki which means "(river) bank". The -a ending is the dative case ending used with prepositions to show location: "on the bank". In the 19th century, it was common to spell the name Bakke.[2]
