Explore our charming small town Notodden, which is idyllically located by Heddalsvannet, at the end of the Telemark Canal. We can offer a rich cultural life with one of Europe's largest Blues festival, national and cultural treasures such as Heddal Stave Church and attractions from the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Notodden is worth a visit whether you are on a Norwegian holiday or just passing through. The city and the surrounding area have a lot to offer in terms of activities. The proximity to both water and mountains offers a variety of opportunities. In the summer, activities such as hiking, fishing, cycling, swimming and kayaking are popular, while in the winter it is a paradise for everyone who loves skiing!
A little more than 100 years ago, Notodden and Rjukan were the arena for a modern adventure. A visit to the World Heritage Center Rjukan-Notodden industrial heritage makes you better acquainted with the events that gave Notodden and Rjukan a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
