Hotels in Rjukan

Welcome to Rjukan, a charming town nestled in the picturesque Vestfjorddalen valley between the stunning lakes Møsvatn and Tinnsjå. This unique destination has a rich history, having been built from scratch due to the industrial developments by Norsk Hydro in the early 20th century. Today, Rjukan is known for its captivating beauty and fascinating attractions.

One of the town's most famous features is the Rjukan Falls, which provided the necessary electricity for the industrial advancements. While geologist Jens Esmark may have exaggerated its height, the falls still offer a magnificent sight to behold. For outdoor enthusiasts, Rjukan offers excellent hiking opportunities in the surrounding pristine landscapes, including the majestic Hardangervidda plateau and Gaustatoppen. And if you're a fan of winter activities, the Gaustablikk ski resort is a must-visit, offering some of the best skiing experiences in Norway.

But what truly sets Rjukan apart is its unique phenomenon of being without sunlight for months. From September to March, the town experiences darkness due to the tall Gaustatoppen mountain blocking the low sun. However, fear not! The Sunmirror art project has placed enchanting mirrors on the northern mountainside, reflecting the sun down onto the town square each day. It's a magical sight that brings warmth and light to this otherwise shadowed paradise.

So, whether you're a history buff, an outdoor adventurer, or simply seeking an otherworldly experience, Rjukan is the place to be. Explore the fascinating industrial heritage at the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum, marvel at the natural beauty of the Rjukan Falls, and bask in the enchantment of the Sunmirror. With its charming hotels, Rjukan offers a warm and welcoming stay for every traveler. Come and experience the magic of a town built from dreams and industrial wonders!
