Night Walk in the Footsteps of the Saboteurs
By Norsk Industriarbeidermuseum
The Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum is proud to once again host this year’s Saboteur March! This unique experience combines a guided tour along the Saboteur Trail (which includes parts of the original route used by the saboteurs during Operation Gunnerside) with a meal and a visit to the actual Heavy Water Cellar at Vemork—the target of the famous sabotage operation!
The march takes place at the same time of year and in the same terrain as the original mission against the German atomic program, bringing you close to the gripping and nerve-wracking stories from this dramatic period in Norwegian and world history.
Experience a unique and unforgettable journey through the world-famous Vestfjord Valley, descending from the edge of the wild Hardangervidda plateau to the iconic industrial complex at Vemork Power Plant, now the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum, where the walls still echo with a century of industry intertwined with the drama of war!
