Lake Nisser and Lake Vråvatn

The Nisser and Vråvatn lakes are connected by two locks. In Lake Nisser 27 islands invite you to go bathing, fishing, rowing and canoeing. A picnic on the islands is an unforgettable experience in a stressless atmosphere.

Pot holes ("jettegrytene")

The pot holes, 55 kilometres from Vrådal, are nature’s own water park, with unique rock formations creating natural water slides.  

Fjone rock climbing area

Fjone, 30 kilometres from Vrådal, tempts you with some of Europe’s best rock climbing. Here you will find routes of various lengths and degrees of difficulty.

The Telemark Canal

The Telemark canal is a 105-kilometre long watercourse taking you from Skien to Dalen. Nostalgic and elegant boats allow you to experience cultural history, bustling crowds and the constantly changing landscape surrounding the Telemark Canal.

Gaustatoppen Mountain

Gaustatoppen towers majestically above the town of Rjukan at an altitude of 1,883 metres above sea level. Around 30,000 people make the trip up to the summit every year to enjoy the fantastic view from the top. On a clear day, you can see all the way south to the coast, and east to Sweden. You can see one sixth of Norway from here. Gaustatoppen lies approximately 110 kilometres from Vrådal.
