Tyssedal and Power Museum

We are now arriving at the industrial town of Tyssedal where you can see the protected power station down by the fjord. It is a powerful monument to the hydro-power and industrial adventure that started here at the beginning of the 1900s. A visit to the power station can give an insight into the period when Norway was transitioning from a farming to industrial society. The museum gives a vivid insight about the life of, the workers, or rallars as they were called, the engineers and architects and how modern towns and cities grew in the middle of the beautiful and sometimes impassable nature of Vestland. From the village you can continue up to Europe’s highest high mountain plateau and to a myriad of other magical and spectacular natural experiences such as the trip up Himmelstigen to Trolltunga. Here at Tyssedal they have been producing clean, green, and renewable energy for 100s of years. This is to our delight as we are dancing silently across the fjord with the ‘Vision of the Fjords’, which is a premium environmentally friendly hybrid vessel which in 2016 won the prestigious prize of ‘Ship of the Year’.
