From Kragerø to Bø Sommarland, the Telemark Canal and Gaustatoppen
Kragerø multiplies its’ population during the summer. This is the city where Edvard Munch choose to reside in his later days. And right outside among the 495 island you’ll find Jomfruland National Park. Start your visit of Telemark here and then continue on to Porsgrund’s porcelain factory after stopping in Langesund. Drop by the Henrik Ibsen Museum in Skien before taking a refreshing stop at Bø Sommarland, Scandinavia’s largest waterpark. After that we recommend taking a trip on the Telemark Canal and on to visit the fairytale hotel, Dalen Hotel. Visit West-Telemark Museum in Eidsborg and adore the beautiful yet small stave church there. Norway’s largest stave church is also to be seen Telemark, and can be found in Heddal, close to Notodden.
Rjukan-Notodden’s industrial heritage is worth a visit, and we recommend visiting Telemark Art Museum and World Heritage Center in Notodden, and Vemork in Rjukan. Eastern Norway’s largest mountain summit is also awaiting your arrival; take a trip up Mount Gausta and see over a 1/6th of Norway! This is also a great skiing region, so make sure to have your skiis ready in winter. If you are interested in skiing and its’ history, we’d recommend learning all about Sondre Norheim and our ski history at Norsk Skieventyr in Morgedal.
