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!
