Gamlegrendåsen

Few cities in southeastern Norway have a history as closely tied to silver mining as Gamlegrendasen’s Kongsberg. Gamlegrendåsen is a residential district on the wooded slopes above the Numedalslågen valley, close to a town shaped by the discovery of silver in the 17th century. Kongsberg grew into one of Norway’s most important mining centres, and its former silver mines remain central to the local identity. Today, the area connects everyday Norwegian neighbourhood life with forests, river-valley terrain and Kongsberg’s industrial heritage.
