Hønefoss

Hønefoss has served as a sawmill and trading town in the Ringerike district since the mid-19th century. The Begna River drops through the Hønefossen waterfall at its centre, providing the waterpower that shaped the settlement’s early industry. Granted town status in 1852, Hønefoss grew into a regional service centre and is now the administrative centre of Ringerike municipality. Productive farmland and extensive woodland surround the town, while the river corridor gives it a distinct inland Norwegian setting.
