Where to Visit in Norway / Rjukan / Giant Sun Mirrors

- The beautiful, ungovernable Rjukan waterfall had the power, and the engineer, Sam Eyde, and the physicist, Kristian Birkeland, had the know-how.
Fertilizer was in great demand all over the world because of the booming, global population. This was a vital factor for the construction of a large-scale hydro-electric power station and one of the world's most sophisticated electrochemical processing plants of the era.
The remote Vestfjord Valley, where 50 families lived in 1907, experienced an industrial revolution. Barely ten years later, the valley had become a busy industrial community, with 10,000 inhabitants and a network of contacts in all corners of the world.
Rjukan was home to the first heavy industrial plant in Norway. You will still find a concentrated form of Norway'

The sun mirror in Rjukan
The founder of the town Rjukan, Mr Sam Eyde, launched the idea in 1913 of a “Solspeil”, or sun mirror, above Rjukan. He saw the importance of the “sun in Rjukan” as well in the winter. He also had a need to give his workers the opportunities for sunlight in the winter. This idea is one of the few Sam Eyde did not manage to follow through to completion.
Instead, his successors built a gondola in 1928 to transport Rjukan´s inhabitants to the winter sunshine. This gondola is called Krossobanen. It remains functional and is an important connection between the town and the mountains, where the sun´s rays are limited in the winter months. Krossobanen transports thousands of people to the mountains every year.

I like an early start but 04.00.....never been to Norway but my brother went to Iceland, which he loved but said man was it expensive. The supermarket looked very much like the ones in the UK and the kids sure seemed to enjoy their breakfast. The AirB&B seemed pretty fair, nice and clean and those views were superb but what a great idea the sun mirrors were, need to get that Vitamin D in to everyone, cheers Alan.
Thanks Alan for watching…please stay tone because I still need to up load our video from the epic hike we did in Norway 🇳🇴
Thanks for sharing and for visiting my channel.. Watching and Supporting with Full View and Like.. Nice place to visit. Nice drone footage at the end..
Thank you too
Had to smile when I saw you guys walk inside with the outdoor shoes on. That is a "no no" in 99.9% of the homes in Norway ;)
Thank You for sharing that!! We definitely keep that in mind…please stay tuned for more videos form our trip to beautiful Norway 🇳🇴
@@chasingadeline You probably saw the shoe rack just inside the door to the apartment :)
I'd be a bit careful with the drone these days. People and authorities are a bit on edge due to the current situation in the world. They have arrested several Russians with drones already that are not permitted to use drones now.
So make sure you don't go to close to airports (5km) and petroleum installations like refineries and gas terminals. Also power stations and power substations might be risky.
People might report you and you'll have to waste time talking to the police and such.
Såheim and Vemork power stations are beautiful buildings for sure. They don't really make good looking power stations like this anymore.
The Såheim building is quite large as most of the mass was for the factory. Only the front lower row of the building houses the turbines. Originally 11 turbines, but today only 3 in the east part of the hall replacing some of the original ones. They were added in 1959, 1961 and 1973

Thanks you for watching our video. 👍🇳🇴❤️
W❤️W! That’s Awesome! Cheers for more exciting and incredible globetrotting adventures!🥂❤️✨
Our pleasure!
This is my town, and it is not a mountain town (just 250 m above the sea), it is a valley town.
During the war there was a lot of partisan sabotage missions, because the Germans wanted to use heavy water produced here for atomic bombs, ah I hear the last part of the video now, there will be a follow up, nice.
Take care!
Thank you for pointing that out. We loved visiting Rjukan!!! I wish we had more time to see more of that part of Norway. The main reason we went here was to see the museum and see how Norwegian held stop the Nazis giving atomic bomb.
Prices really aren’t bad at all. Tax seemed high. Beautiful views all around the town. Looking forward to more videos
yes and that is the tax on food. for goods and services is 25%!!!! thanks for watching. It looks like your guys last video has really taken OFF!!! Good Job!!
Tax is always included in the prices (except if it's only marketing to other businesses and not citizens). You'll get a receipt that shows how much of it you paid in tax, but it's not something people think about, even if VAT may vary between certain products. There are other special tax/fees also, like on sugar (due to being unhealthy), these are also always included in the prize and does not even show up on your receipt. The only "unfair" prizing you'll find, is on return fees for bottles and cans, usually the fee is not included and you'll see "(+ pant)" behind the prize. Returning bottles, is easy in Norway, though.
@@BrimirMe thank you for sharing. yes, I remember saying a video showing how easy it is to recycle bottles in Norway. Here in California, it's not so easy.
Tax always included in the price, so what you see is what you get 😊
I like that!! Thanks for sharing
Kiwi is one of the cheapest stores in Norway. That's where I do most of my shopping.
Thank You for watching!!! I did not know that…when we visited Norway that is the only place we shopped for food. We have more videos from Norway 🇳🇴 so please stayed tuned. :)
We've just booked a trip to Iceland and your latest vlog is quite apt as Norway is another wonderful place we're looking at going to in 2023! Excellent to see how you get on with food, accommodation etc, great stuff! Cheers, Simon and Elaine
that is so cool!!! can't wait to see the videos from Iceland!!! I still need to see the rest of your West USA videos,...it gives me some ideas for us to visit when our kids get older...

Thanks
Excellent video :)
Thanks again for watching
It is 15% tax, but it is always included in the price. What is not included is the deposits on bottles which is usually 2 NOK/0,2 USD per bottle/can. You get that back if you recycle your used can at the store.
Sorry for all the noise at the airbnb. (i am one of the truckdrivers who work in that area 🤣)
No worries!
Interesting for me even though I'm Norwegian. 🙂
