ノームのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Ulefoss Hovedgård is a magnificent manor house widely considered the most important architectural work from the Empire era in the country. Built between 1802 and 1807 as a summer residence for the wealthy Aall family, it boasts a grand design with columns, symmetry, and a striking dome, influenced by classical architecture. The manor served as the home of Niels Aall, a significant figure in Norway's 1814 constitutional assembly, and has hosted royalty. Today, it operates as part of the Telemark Museum, offering guided tours, exhibitions, a café, and beautiful English-style gardens, providing a glimpse into Norwegian aristocratic life and history.

Below the lock is a sawmill that is still in use today. This is where the wooden lock gates are made and spare parts are manufactured.

Most beautiful lock system on the Telemark Canal, situated in beautiful natural surroundings.

to come at the opening to admire the locks in operation

Start here and just follow the blue dots on the trees and stones to get to Knarren (331 m). There are blueberries all along the way, so it's worth coming in August :)

The hiking trail is currently interrupted by the new tunnel construction; the construction site is directly on the path and forms a deep cutting

Less spectacular than the other locks

The Vrangfoss five-way lock is a highlight of any trip. Passenger ships pass through it twice a day. There's a café.
