Practical info
We are very lucky to have many guests visiting us during the summer. The road down to the parking lot at Vemork is very narrow, and to ensure the best possible experience for everyone who visits us, we regulate traffic during the summer season.
Cycle to Vemork
All cyclists – including motorcyclists – are invited to take their vehicles up to the area below the heavy water cellar. This saves space and creates less issues at the parking lot by Våer and in the square in front of the museum.
Hike to Vemork
Hikers are welcome. It is exciting to arrive at Vemork via Sluskedilten and we recommend the idyllic nature of Kraftledningsveien rather than the main road up from Rjukan. Remember to follow road signs, and take it easy when you have to use the main road, and wear high-visibility hiking clothing.
Parking
Parking at Vemork bridge
The parking lot is used by both museum guests and guests for outdoor experiences. Regardless of why you need to use the parking lot, you must pay a fee.
There is approximately 800 meters from the parking lot at Vemork bridge to the museum, with hills all the way. You can choose whether to follow the road or use the paths and stairs. Some of the slopes may be a bit steep, but it is a pleasant walk of about 20 minutes through a beautiful industrial and natural environment.
Cafe Vemork 1911
Enjoy hot and cold dishes, sandwiches and sweet pastries in spectacular surroundings.
For lunch reservations for groups, please contact us by phone at 35 09 90 00. Larger groups must book in advance.
