The Nidelva (also Nidar or Nidelv ) is an approx. 30 km long river in Fylke Trøndelag in Norway . The river has its origin in Lake Selbusjøen in Brøttem in Trondheim municipality . From there it runs northwards past the Tiller district to the Leir Falls. At this point it feeds two hydropower plants . In the lower reaches, it meanders through the town of Stavne and the center of Trondheim. On the outskirts of the city it flows into the Trondheimsfjord at Brattøra . Until the 1980s, several shipyards and shipbuilding companies were located at its mouth . Today, in addition to a marina, there is also the Nedre Elvehavn quarter , a district of Trondheim.
