For centuries, the only way into Tinn Municipality and Rjukan was to brave travels over the high mountain plateau of Hardangervidda, the unique terrain where such films as ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and others gain their special visual personality, or alternatively using the long and narrow Lake Tinn to arrive from the south.
The Rjukan Region was an enclave, nearly impenetrable for 10,000 years – but now it is open, to you.
