Øvre Markestad (Lierskog)
Øvre Markestad or Lierskog, as it is also called, borders
the Sør-Aurdal kommune and the farm is noted for its forestland.
The families of Strand and Haugen were prominent here.
Markestad's location is quite isolated from other farms in
the southern part of the valley, between Madslangrud in Etnedal
and Leirskogen in Sør Aurdal.
