Rjukan

With more than 150 waterfalls, almost all of which have easy access and a stable climate that guarantees long periods of cold weather. Add in a friendly local population, a dramatic World War II history and great skiing on offer for ‘rest’ days and this is not just a place to dream about – it is Rjukan. Situated in the centre of southern Norway, with fairly short access from the main cities, and with world-class ice climbing, it is no wonder that the place has rapidly gained popularity. This App-exclusive guide contains the information from the 2005 print guidebook Heavy Water – Rjukan Ice. It hasn’t been updated.
