Blaafarvevaerket The Cobalt Works

Blaafarvevaerket, or the Royal Cobalt Works of Modum was established in 1773 for the extraction of cobalt ore from the local mines in the surrounding hills. Today Blaafarvevaerket is one of Norways best known tourist attractions offering historical insight into the extraction and production of cobalt, guided tours of the mines and surrounding area and annual art exhibitions. Other attractions at the museum are the Theodor Kittelsen museum. The artist that created the troll as we know it! Children's Farm, several shops and eateries makes us a complete destination for all travellers. The museum and surrounding area is a popular tourist destination in central Eastern Norway with the Vikersund Ski Flying Arena, the worlds largest, and several other destinations for active tourists near by.

I have not been there for more than 20 years and what I remember best is the peaceful surroundings: the white houses with their black wood, the large lawns and the tall white birches by the lazy river. Serene and still peaceful. We spent quite som time in their arts exhibition, which changes every year. We also spent time (and money) in their various shops, had a waffle break at the Tranen cafeteria by the waterfall, and walked down from there to the other side of the river. From where we had to walk all the way up again as the float to take us over the river is far too heavy for three persons in their 60s to pull to the other side. Some info about that would have been nice! All in all a wonderful day on one of the probably last summer days this year.

Langedrag Wildlife Park

The houses at Langedrag are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty. They look like fairytale castles, 1000 metres above sea level with a breathtaking view over mountains and lakes. Eva and Edvin K. Thorson started building the farm in 1978. They wanted to realise their dream of a farm where visitors could experience nature and animals at a closer range than anywhere else. ‘In awe of life’ is the motto at Langedrag. In the Nature Park you can find animals like reindeer, mouflon sheep, mountain fox, horses, goats, wild boars and lynxes. Few other places in the world would let you enter the wolf enclosure, like you can at Langedrag. Every Thursday and Friday in summer you can accompany us on a trip to our summer farm in the mountains. At the farm we make crisp bread on traditional hot plates and tell the stories of the area and its people.

We had a rental car for the day and were looking for things to do around Oslo. Unfortunately, there's not a lot. But the silver mine in Kongsberg sounded like it would be interesting, and it was close enough to be worth the drive. Note that there is a museum and silver mine tour that are in separate locations. This review is for the tour as we did not have time to visit the museum. There are normally three tours offered: 10:00, 12:00p, and 2:00p. We opted for the 10:00 tour. They actually suggested doing a different tour as the early morning tours are frequently filled with schoolchildren but that was the only time that worked with our schedule. While there were lots of schoolchidren, this actually worked to our advantage as we ended up with a private tour as the only two English speakers (normally there are separate Norwegian and English tours). You will need tickets, and you should buy them ahead of time as availability can be limited. The tour takes you into the mine in a small enclosed train car. It's about a 15 minute ride. If you don't like loud, small, dark places, this is not for you. It's not a smooth ride, but it wasn't too bad, and earplugs are provided to reduce noise. The mines are really impressive. They were active for more than 300 years and produced an enormous quantity of silver. It was interesting to learn about mine operations prior to the invention of dynamite. We also learned about German influence on the area and history of the mines in World War II. The mines are enormous. You will only get to see a small portion of them, but it's plenty to see. In addition to the mines themselves you do get to see some equipment that operated drills and pumps. You will also be able to see a working elevator that dates to the 19th century. They warn you that it's cold in the mine. This is accurate. It was only a few degrees above freezing. Bring a warm jacket and dress appropriately even if it's warm outside. I found that I was fine without gloves. If you have even a slight interest in mining or history, Sølvgruvene is a great place to visit. I highly recommend it. The mine is neat to see, our tour guide was awesome, and it was a highly unique experience.

Kjosterudjuvet

Kjosterudjuvet is a 10.000 year old, spectacular, ravine only 10 minutes from Drammen centre. The ravine is 1300meters long and the stone walls are more than 60meters high. A more exiting excursion is hard to find!

Reviewed By Beates88 - Drammen, Norway

Have good shoes when you walk here, would also recommend a bottle of water. You can either walk in the Kjøsterdjuvet og on the hill beside it, both of them lead you to the top where you will see gamledammen.
