3. The Saboteurs' trail...
is the world-famous route the Norwegian Resistance used during the Second World War to get from the Hardangervidda mountain plateau and down the steep gorges to Vemork where they blew up the heavy water plant. The trail is 8km long, and starts at Rjukan Fjellstue. It is marked and there are boards en route which tell the story. The unusual countryside makes this trip all the more special. You can also go on a guided tour of the trail during the summer. |
