Joutheimen National Park

I'm searching a possible transliteration of the name of this Norwegian national park into English. Could anyone help with pronunciation examples on each syllables for myself to be aware of how it can actually sound like.

Thank you.

The stress should be on the first syllable - YO-toon-hey-men...:-)

Thank you, Per, for an instant response to my question. I'm a Japanese native mainly translating from English into Japanese, therefore, I truly appreciate your help about this, otherwise, I have no idea for a possible pronunciation. Now I would guess what it's like to be. Thank you again!
