Tour suggestions: UNESCO World Heritage and the industrial adventure at Rjukan and Vemork

From Vrådal, you drive in magnificent scenery on local roads to Rauland and further up along Møsvatn, Scandinavia’s largest lake located over 900 meters above sea level.
Further, the road goes past Rjukanfossen and further down to the power station at Vemork and the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum where you can experience Norwegian industrial history and learn more about the heavy water action.
The heavy water action came about as a result of Norsk Hydro extracting hydrogen for fertilizer production at Vemork and heavy water was a by-product of this production.
At the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum at Vemork you can visit both the power station, the world’s largest power station with tiled floors and the heavy water cellar.
Further from Vemork you drive past Gaustatoppen, Telemark’s highest mountain with a height of 1883 meters above sea level and on towards Tuddal before the road goes back to Straand Hotel.
