Hiking

The Krossobahn was the first cable car in Northern Europe. It was built in 1928 and was a gift from Norsk Hydro to the residents of Rjukan. All residents should have the opportunity to get up into the sunlight during the winter months.

Unfortunately closed at the moment. They are getting a new drive transmission. That will probably take a while...;( (August 24)
