Drammen

Few cities in southeastern Norway have a history as closely tied to the timber trade and river transport as Drammen. The Drammenselva runs through the city before reaching the Drammensfjord, and its banks long supported sawmills, shipping and commerce based on the forests inland. Today, riverside paths and the central Bragernes district give the compact city a distinctly urban rhythm. The Spiralen, a spiral tunnel driven into Bragernesåsen, leads to a hillside viewpoint above the centre. Drammen Theatre, rebuilt after the great fire of 1866, remains a prominent cultural venue.
