Hønefoss

Today, Hønefoss has a population of just over 15,000 and is located about 6 Norwegian miles northwest of Oslo. The town used to be a central hub on the East Coast and it is also easy to take a detour to Oslo or to visit the surrounding sights.

It is from the roaring waterfall that Hønefoss gets its name, which also forms a natural midpoint between the Sørsiden and the Nordsiden. Also visit the old Knights' Manor, which dates back to the 18th century and has a very beautiful location in Hønefoss.

There are several good places to eat in Hønefoss, try the restaurant in the former prison, Brasserie Fengselet, or the Restaurant Boat, which is open all year round. Hønefoss is certainly a worthy candidate for this year's winter holiday, summer holiday or perhaps just a long weekend break in Norway.
