The Krøderen Line is a heritage railway line connecting the Krøderen lake in Buskerud, Norway, to the town of Vikersund. The 26-kilometre line was built as a narrow gauge branch line of the Randsfjord Line by the Norwegian State Railways and opened in 1872. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1958, and freight traffic in 1985. As of 2011, the Krøderen Line Foundation and the Norwegian Railway Club jointly operate steam train services on the line from May to October. In addition to the termini at Vikersund and Krøderen there are intermediate stations at Snarum, Sysle, and Kløftefoss.

Mountain Attractions In Kroderen

  • 1. Gaustatoppen Rjukan
    Gaustatoppen is the highest mountain in the county Telemark in Norway which lies in the municipality Tinn and Hjartdal. The view from the summit is impressive, as one can see an area of approximately 60,000 km², one sixth of Norway's mainland. The mountain is popular for downhill skiing in winter, and competitions have been held on its slopes. These competitions include the Norseman triathlon, billed as the world's most brutal iron-distance triathlon. It starts in Eidfjord and finishes at the top of Gaustatoppen. The summit is accessible on foot in the summer, on a rocky pathway of medium difficulty, although the southern side of the mountain is very dangerous and inaccessible. The wreckage of an airplane crash lies there, as it is too difficult to remove it.
