Julussa is a river in Innlandet county, Norway. The river flows through the Julussdalen valley in the municipalities of Elverum and Åmot. The river begins at the lake Bergesjøen which sits at an elevation of above sea level. From Bergesjøen, Julussa flows to the northwest for until it flows into the river Renaelva.[1]
