Haugfoss

Scenic Haugfoss was a hub of local industry for more than 300 years. Here you can visit the General Store and Madame Reiff’s shop, both located in premises where commerce has been conducted since the 18th century. The Haugfosstråkka, or Haugfoss Yard, is home to the Thranestua Café, with its idyllic outdoor seating area next to the Haugfossen waterfall. The café’s freshly baked waffles and pancakes have earned acclaim far beyond Modum’s borders. The facility at Haugfoss is among the most valuable parts of the Blaafarveværket industrial museum, where the historical atmosphere is experienced authentically.

In 1883, the painter Frits Thaulow invited his friends:
Come with me to Modum.
The nature so genuine Norwegian.
The air so clean.
a picturesque region.
