Up above, almost at the summit, there's a hut. Those who want to spend the night and descend early the next morning must make a reservation. To enjoy one of the delicious waffles, simply stand in line and top it with strawberry or cherry. Those who don't feel like descending can take the cable car. The "Gaustahnen" cable car runs inside the mountain, below the antenna. The cable car was built between 1954 and 1959, during the Cold War. It runs between the listening station (antenna) and the village of Rjukan in the valley. After the end of the Cold War, the cable car was opened to the public. The cable car consists of two tracks: a flat track (850 m) and a steep cable car (1045 m incline).

Hidden in the mountain is a mountain railway, which until 1995 was still secret and was used only for military purposes. The ride with the Gaustabahn (Gaustabanen) takes about 15 minutes. In this video you can see the Tal ride:

A beautiful panoramic mountain with good visibility you can see a sixth of the land area.
