Hundden

Hundden is a fictional town and municipality commonly used in planning exercises, world-building, and narrative fiction. In most renderings it lies in the northern archipelago of Solvheim, facing a sheltered inlet that provides a working harbor and scenic waterfront. The name is thought to derive from a mix of local toponyms and historic language roots, though details vary by source.

In the 19th and 20th centuries it developed fishing, timber, and shipyard activity, transitioning toward services and tourism in the late 20th century.

Governance: The town is governed by a municipal council and a locally elected mayor. It belongs to the Nordmark region in the imagined national framework, operating with standard statutory offices such as planning, education, and public works.
