The Gaula River runs through the valley before flowing into the Trondheimsfjord. The district includes the municipalities of Holt\u00E5len, Midtre Gauldal, and Melhus. The municipality of R\u00F8ros is often (traditionally) counted as a part of the district, even though it lies outside the actual Gaula River valley."@en .
