Notodden is a town with extensive industrial and social history; join us on a narrated tour of the town! In 1900, Notodden was a trading post of less than 1000 inhabitants. During this tour, we will explore how the industrial companies Tinfos and Norsk Hydro built an entire urban community centered around the factories in Notodden. The local industrial companies exploited the hydroelectric energy of the waterfalls to carry out their own pioneering projects. Today, this is referred to as the birth of Norwegian modernity. To preserve this history of technological and societal change for all of humanity, Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015. In the app you are currently listening to, you will find a map showing the various stops on the tour. Approach them to activate the narration in the app. We wish you an exciting journey through the local history!
