Stopped in the gorgeous town for a little window shopping and a break. On my way out on the heavy serpentine saw this interesting power station. Seen some of them with those scary pipes in my youth in West Virginia under construction and I stopped for a photo. I knew that must be a piece of my beloved Norway's hydropower history. Way to go Vikings, go and get even richer on free hydro power electricity! I envy you so much, all Norwegians, I wish I could've been born in your wonderland! God bless you all!

Very impressive and interesting historical monument. Really spectacular building and the nature around is breathtaking. Worth the visit.

Great museum, where you can feel atmosphere from WW2 period. There are also some interactive devices that allows to learn facts in an interesting way.

Really worth a visit. The story is historically important, facinating and moving. I spent several hours here and in the surrounding area.

Fabulous museum with some very interesting history of Norway. Well worth a visit particularly if you are interested in world war 2 history.

For me this is importent historical place where the norwegian saboteurs prevented germany from making uranium from heavy water produced at Vemork. Importent fir whole world. Recomend buying tickets online, a bit cheaper.😊😊🇳🇴🇳🇴.

Wouldn’t bother. You’ll spend half the time on the tourist bus from Rjuken. Poorly signed and little information on the website. Staff could not care less, a very underwhelming experience and this should not be a UNESCO world heritage site.

Great service! Very quickly you can get to beautiful nature and amazing scenery. The stuff are really nice and helpful. Nice cafe on the top.

Very helpful staff and amazing views from the top. We cycled from the top and into kalhovd cabin and had a really great experience. Highly recommended.

What a great place. I would recommend, for such a low price it's a great experience for whole family😉

Spectacular trip to the top with the tram. And a so awesome view

Absolutely stunning views ! Well worth the visit.

Great view and nice crew working in June.

A beautiful place to visit with an amazing scenery.

If you are in Rjukan definitely go here and take this cableway. Even if you would just ride to the upper station and back it is worth it. The view from the top station to the surrounding mountains is overwhelming. However, if you have time you can go and take some beautiful hiking trips around starting from upper station. For example, the trail called "Solstien", which was built over Rjukan by Nepalese Sherpas who were invited here by the National Park Administration. It leads through a magnificent fjell, with stunning views of Gaustatoppen, from the upper station of the Krossobanen cable car to an anti-aircraft artillery position from World War II, when fierce fighting over the Rjukan area and over Norsk Hydro concern where Germany work on the plan to complete the atomic bomb. Or Haddelandsveien - a steep and challenging trail from the upper station of the Krossobane cable car to the center of Rjukan. It is recommended only for experienced hikers and only in dry conditions. The route is only 8 km short, but it is very steep. On the way, you can stop at the famous Solspeilet or Ryukan mirrors.

3h car ride from Oslo. Nice restaurant and beautifull view to the mountains. Quiet place to stay and relax.

Amazing view and good food. Go there if you are nearby.

No, or too hard to obtain information on Web-page on how to get the free-ride for children deal from preordering at Rjukan klatrepark.

Amazing view. Free parking. Build on 1928. Worth taking the trip.

So nice place

A must when you visit Rjukan

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Väldig fin

(Translated by Google) Mirrors (Solspeilet) in the mountains illuminate the market square because it is the darkest place on earth... - So with the least direct light in the year... (Original) Spiegel (Solspeilet) in den Bergen beleuchten den Markplatz, weil es die dunkelste Stelle auf der Erde ist... - Also mit dem wenigsten direkten Licht im Jahr...

Super nice view one of the tops,, the tickets are super expensive: You can take the train up, and walk down but never do it in winter without proper shoes, They dont tell you while buying a ticket so that you will need to buy a new ticket from top to down, So if you want to take the train down as well than buy a 2 - way ticket. If you want to walk all the way up then i recommend walking up from the other parking since its less steeper than from here. We took the train up and It took us about 1.5 hours to only get down as we are used to hiking, it usally takes 2-3 hours up/down

Very nice view (if clear) on the surroundings. Have a delicious waffle on top 😀

Worst thing I tried in Norway by far.. no info about that you have to wait for an hour and half in fridge temp to get down again with the train. Nice view but walk. And when you get down and ask why there’s is no info about the wait time no meet by the worst people possible. A big scam

Death defiying ride on a little train into the mountain, then changing to an almost vertical funicular to the top. We were told you could see for miles around d on a clear day, check the weather before you go!!

This was an amazing opportunity for me as a disabled person. You can catch a train up and inside the mountain which is a fun and exciting experience on it's own. This gives you a chance to experience the amazing view of so much of Norway from the top of the mountain. Which I otherwise would not have been able to experience. There is also a very good waffle house up there too.

For those who doesn’t want to hike up to the top, this is an alternative way. Easier and faster. You must book tickets in advance and remember that they are closing earlier than usual if there’s no tourist. So its better to book in advance.

Awesome and unique experience to enjoy a train inside the mountain which goes 850m inside straight into the mountain and then 1030m (vertical) to the top of the mountain. Takes 15min to reach to the top point and you can enjoy hot waffles in the cafe there. Do check the weather before you go there as it can change rapidly.

They have one vegetarian/ vegan dish with veggies and rice. It tastes good, the portion could have been a bit bigger and it was missing tofu. Overall, fine indoors and outdoors sitting areas.

Only one vegetarian/vegan item that they could not confirm had/had not got oyster sauce in. Staff were very reluctant to answer polite questions. Mid level for the meat eaters, at best. Probably the best place in Ryuken though as it was busy!

Nice Chinese restaurant with good food. Nice owners.

We had a very good time here. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the place is very nicely decorated. Service was fast and everyone was very nice. They brought me a different dish than the one I ordered at first, but the mistake was promptly corrected. The food was good, fresh and hot. Nicely served as well. There is only one vegetarian dish in the whole (pretty sizable) menu and it's literally called 'Vegetarian Food'. That made me laugh out loud. But my 'Vegetarian Food' was tasty, so I didn't mind.

didn’t have high expectations initially but all the dishes took me by a pleasant surprise :). all dishes were very yummy and the customer service was excellent as well. will recommend especially if you are craving chinese asian dishes! :)

Got multiple dishes here today. Got the shrimp, duck, and honey marinated pig. All the dishes were good and serving was very fair. Prices were fair at 165kr per main course. Nothing to really complain about at all. Good experience.

After reading the reviews, we were very skeptical to visit the restaurant.But, had a surprising experience. 3 dishes that we ordered was served in less than 10mins!!!.Food taste is not surprising, just same as other Chinese restaurants in Norway but fair enough. Cleanliness and the ambience is much better compared to other restaurants in the area. Large portion size, reasonable price. What else to expect from a highly touristic place like this? Our entire dinner including dessert was over in 30 mins.... Deserves MUCH better review.

Cafeteria is based in very special heritage house. The house was build by workers unions hundred years ago like “Temple of Socialism”. Temple of socialism not survived. Maybe because of lacking the priests. Now it look more like temple of cinema.

If I could give this 6 I’d give them a 7. Bloody good burger and kebab. Friendly service, beautiful views. Cheap beer

Deilicious coffee. Friendly staff. Nice and spacious outdoor seating. Haven't tried the food. Update: The food comes in big portions and is delicious. We were three people who ordered different meals.

Went here for dinner and didn’t know what to expect, but was surprised by how well our experience was. The dinner was delicious, with locally sourced ingredients and proportional portions. The dessert was fantastic, Especially the homemade sorbet. The prices were fair, and it was well worth the food and service.

Good, local food (which means a bit heavy on meat, potatoes and root vegetables), friendly service and a nice, old-school ambience. Considering that this is the only proper European restaurant outside the hotels in this town, Kinokafeen is doing a pretty good job. Popular with the locals.

Perfect pizza- diavola with peppers and røme sauce

Norwegian styled italian resturant in the middle of Rjukan center. Decent food, seasonal resturant. Serves pilsner beer. You can also sit outside in summer and enjoy the sun. Right next door to the cinema Good parking spots nearby. And the local pub just across the road if you want to continue the evening.
