The Rjukanfossen has lost its power since the water is diverted in pipelines to the Vemork power station. The waterfall can only be experienced on the last weekend in July on the occasion of the "Marispelet".

Tennis Court at Rjukan Hotel

Highlight • Rest Area

There used to be a (proper) tennis court belonging to the Rjukan Hotell. After all, the lords and ladies had to be entertained. Today there is a somewhat more modern network in the green.
