At the Norwegian industral workers museum the story of the well known “heavy water sabotage” which took place during the 2nd world war is told.

Rjukan is lying in Vestfjorddalen between Møs lake and Tinn lake and is the administrative centre of the commune. The town is known for its industrial as well as war history and unique architecture. The establishment of Rjukan was the result of the erection of Norwegian Hydro by Sam Eyde who bought the Rjukan waterfall in 1902. The production of artificial fertiliser in Rjukan was put down in 1991 but Yara has still some employers stationed at Rjukan. Today the Tinn commune is focusing on tourism.
The Rjukan swimming pool lies in the town centre of Rjukan and is always worth a visit summer like winter.

Every year several events and festivals are hold in Rjukan. Have look at Rjukan rockefestival, Marispelet, Kjerringsveiven, Trubadurfestivalen
