Known as the birthplace of Norwegian Industry and Norsk Hydro, the Vemork heavy water sabotage operation during World War 2 (which has been documented in many International movies - including «Heroes of Telemark» with Kirk Douglas) and a huge mirror which reflects sunshine down to the dark valley as well as the mighty Gaustatoppen mountain with both a tourist cabin on top and a former secret Nato funicular inside the mountain- a visit to Rjukan and Gausta gives you a chance to experience some of the most exciting Norwegian history and nature at the same time, just 3 hours from Oslo.
In this video we give you 10 reasons to visit this area in Telemark in the summer months - in winter the region is an attractive ski destination.
Please note that Krossobanen was closed at the 19th of June 2024 with immediate effect by the Norwegian Railway Authorities due to safety issues. It is unknown when it can open again.
