Norsk Hydro, although drawn by the heroes of telemark story, the whole experience was amazing. We parked in the town and caught the museum bus up to the plant

Built in the early 1900 as a power station to power Hydros fertiliser production, taking the valley from relatively lawless farm holdings to a city built to service Hydros plants.

Above the enormous turbins and generators, this plant no longer works, but there is a more modern power station in caverns behind the old plant. Below is the reason I had heard of the place. This is the cable conduct thT the Norwegian sabatier crawled into to destroy the heavy water equipment. Heavy water was a byproduct of the process of producing hydrogen, which was needed to make the fertiliser. The Germans wanted this to help with nuclear research with the aim of building a bomb. Having watched the film, it was odd to see the location go across the bridge that the Germans guarded and to see the rail station through which the Germans moved the heavy water.

As it is our anniversary, we treated ourselves to a campsite showers and washing.
