Hadeland Glassworks

In 1762 started what would become Norway's oldest industry, Hadeland Glassverk, and which today is one of the absolute main attractions in the whole Ringerike. In the bustling centre of Hadeland Glassverk, visitors will find Glasshytta, where they can meet the incredible artistic glassblowers and follow the magical process up close, from glass mass to sandblasting and colouring of the glass.

But Hadeland Glassvek is more than just glass in different shapes. If you've brought the kids along for the ride, there are two playgrounds for them to run wild in and a kid-friendly bakery serving up really good buns. Sandwiches or dinner can be ordered at the Kokkestua restaurant, or visitors can enjoy a coffee and cake at the aptly named Norgesglasshuset café.

Hadeland Glassverk is located in a very beautiful place and there are many activities and experiences waiting for the visitors, besides the glassblowers, the shops and the rich choice of dining options. For example, visit the Chief's Hall, where you can buy local Norwegian products such as honey, jams, mustards, soups, chocolates and caramels and much, much more. Hadeland Glassverk is simply a great place to take the little ones on a family holiday or perhaps just a weekend break with lots of shopping and experiences!

Riddergården

Riddergården is an old farmhouse from the 1700s located just outside Hønefossen in Hønefoss. It is a so-called city farm, which is known by the fact that some of the buildings are placed around a natural centre so that a kind of alley is formed between the buildings.

About 200 years ago, the farm was the residence of the Ridder family, and today guided tours are organised in the summer, and when Christmas approaches, a cosy Christmas market is held. Get to know the Ridder family and experience a genuine 18th-century Norwegian farmhouse.

Stenberg open-air museum

Experience Toten as it was 150 years ago at Stenberg Open Air Museum, built in the county farm that bears the same name. The place hasn't changed much since the 1800s when it was built by county man Lauritz Weidemann, with a lovely gazebo of avenues and majestic trees. There is also a lovely country park and there are also reports that it was here that author Camilla Collett was inspired to write her novel 'The County Man's Daughters' as Weidemann's daughters Amalie, Nahyda and Ingebord became her inspiration for what is probably one of the most famous Norwegian novels about the upper class and the position of women in society.
