Take a unique stop in Drammen to the city's biggest (and probably oldest) tourist attraction, The Spiral Tunnel.
Spiraling 7 floors up inside the mountain, it leads up to Drammen's most epic viewpoint. And inside the tunnel, if you look closely, you will find a troll. The emblem of Drammen called Spiraltrollet.
On top of Spiraltoppen there is an ample free parking lot so that you can leave the car when you enjoy the views. If the café is open, why not try their delicious waffles with rømme (sour cream) and jam (the traditional way of eating waffles in Norway!)
There is a bench on the viewpoint where you can enjoy the spectacular views of the river, Drammenselva, and the city below with green pine forest climbing above the houses on the other side of the valley. There, you will also find the cannons that are fired every morning on Norway's National Day, the 17th of May.
