The Numedal Valley is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets in Norway. Located between Kongsberg and Geilo, the valley contains the largest number of medieval wooden buildings in Norway; an impressive 40 ancient farm buildings and 4 stave churches. On this drive, you’ll see these beautiful historic sites.

This guide will:

• Answer the question "How do people live here?"
• Provide you with historic images and stories relevant to where you are
• Give you practical tips such as - where's the nearest toilet? When can I get a hot dog? You know, the important stuff.
• Show you interesting points where you can stop to stretch your legs or get beautiful photos of Norway
• Give you information about museums (including opening hours), attractions, and major points of interests that you can visit

This guide won't:

• Drive for you (Sorry, we aren't that advanced yet)
• Give you accommodation tips (this guide assumes you know where you are staying already). If you want accommodation tips, visit our (free) online travel guide https://thehiddennorth.com/norway
