Recently we discovered a charming little place not too far from were we live.... we've been there a couple times, and if you come to Vestfold ( Norway ) it's certainly worth a visit.
Eidsfoss is a village on the shores of the beautiful lake – Eikeren.
The village was famous for the iron work factory - Eidsfos Jernverk. A foundry which produced cast iron ovens, and other iron items from 1697 – 1873.
In 1979 the Old Eidsfos Foundation was able to save some of the older workers houses from demolition. These old buildings now house the postal museum, and a small restaurant.
In Eidsfoss you can also visit the oldest Norwegian grocery shop still in use.
