About: Krossobanen

An Entity of Type: railway line, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Krossobanen is an aerial tramway in Rjukan, Norway, and was the first of its kind in Northern Europe. It was built in 1928 by Bleichert as a gift from Norsk Hydro to the people of Rjukan (most of them Hydro employees), offering them a view of the sun which is obscured by the surrounding mountains during the winter months from October to March. The horizontal distance between the lower and the upper station is 814 meters and the difference in altitude is 498 meters, which yields an average incline of 0.6: 1 (in other words, it climbs 60 centimeters for each meter traveled).

  • Krossobanen is een kabelbaan naar de top van de Gvepseborg op de hoogvlakte Hardangervidda in Rjukan in de provincie Telemark in Noorwegen. Het is de eerste kabelbaan in Noord-Europa. Hij is gebouwd in 1928 als cadeau van de Norsk Hydro aan de inwoners van Rjukan (Hydro's werknemers), zodat ze de zon konden zien in de wintermaanden van oktober tot maart. Te zien zijn onder andere de Gaustatoppen, Rjukan en Vemork. Het dalstation ligt op 403 m, het bergstation (Gvepseborg) op 886 m. De rit duurt circa 4½ minuten.
