Rjukan Line, Heritage railway line in Tinn Municipality, Norway.
The Rjukan Line extends through mountainous terrain, connecting the industrial town of Rjukan with the village of Mæl on Lake Tinn's shores.
Opened in August 1909, the railway line played an essential role in transporting materials from hydroelectric power plants, supporting Norway's industrial development.
The railway forms part of the Rjukan-Notodden Industrial Heritage complex, which demonstrates Norway's contributions to the second industrial revolution.
Visitors can experience rides on restored trains while learning about transportation history through exhibits and guided tours at the railway museum.
The line features a NATO-built funicular ascending Gaustatoppen mountain peak, from where visitors can see one-sixth of Norway's territory.
