Drammen Spiral — Attraction in Drammen

Thai is a one-of-it’s-kind human ingenuity wonder that has to be experienced by anyone coming to the Oslo/Drammen region 🎉 It is the spiraling drive inside the mountain that forms an elevator which is so unique. You will be greeted by a family of Spiral Mountain Trolls inside the tunnel as Norwegian folk tales have numerous stories about such creatures. Then you reach the top and breathtaking views of the Drammen city and valley all year round🎉 From the (paid) parking lot you have a restaurant, restrooms and views. Additionally there is an outdoor museum a short walk further up the mountain. This is a fantastic starting point for walks on lit trails in nature. All this is accessible for both wheelchairs and prams. If you are adventurous and want to walk up to the Spiral View then you can use the “Zig-Zag” trail with several starting points at the base of the mountain.

A Thrilling Drive to Panoramic Views: The Drammen Spiral.

The Drammen Spiral is more than just a tunnel; it's an engineering marvel offering a unique driving experience. Winding up the mountainside in six loops, this corkscrew tunnel delivers you to a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking Drammen.

The drive itself is a highlight. Imagine steadily climbing within the mountain, sunlight filtering through at intervals. While not particularly challenging, the switchbacks offer a touch of excitement.

Whether you enjoy a leisurely drive or marvel at engineering feats, the Drammen Spiral is worth a visit. Don't forget to snap photos and soak in the unforgettable views...

So I am biased… I live in this city and Spiralen is the ONLY tourist attraction we got!
