Raufoss

Raufoss can be planned from several perspectives: the network of trails in the centre includes short and long hikes, Raufoss Industrial Park offers a way to explore the area's industrial history, and Totenbadet is an indoor swimming and leisure pool. The trails pass through forests and undeveloped areas; the industrial heritage links a founding year with protected buildings. This means you can first decide whether hiking trails, history, or swimming facilities are most important to your travel plans.

Hiking trails starting from the centre

Marked trails lead from the centre of Raufoss to key starting points for hikes in the areas to the west and east. The network of trails in the centre offers both short and long hikes through forests and undeveloped areas. This lets you consider two aspects of planning a hike separately: the length of hike you want and the landscape you would like to explore. Routes and trail conditions may change, so check the current route information before setting out.

Urban Stolpejakt and industrial history

The year-round Urban Stolpejakt in the centre of Raufoss has 20 posts with QR codes. The codes provide information about various services, places, and activities in Vestre Toten; the activity is fully accessible. While the marked trails offer short and long hikes, the QR codes provide information about places and activities in the wider region.

Raufoss Industrial Park was founded in 1896; 32 buildings in the park are protected for preservation. Building 5 is the oldest building in Raufoss Industrial Park. It houses the Raufoss Industrial History Collections, which present the industrial history of Raufoss. The story thus spans the founding year, the historic buildings, and a collection that explores the subject.

Totenbadet and getting there

Totenbadet in Raufoss is an indoor swimming and leisure pool. Its swimming pool measures 15.5 × 25 metres; diving boards are at heights of 1 and 3 metres, with a platform at 5 metres. If swimming is important to your plans, the pool dimensions and diving heights provide specific information about the facility. Check the pool's current information before making plans.

Raufoss railway station is on the Gjøvik Line, with trains running from there towards Oslo S and Gjøvik. The “I vakkert Toten-landskap” tour also starts and ends at the station. If you are planning to travel by train, check the current services before your journey, as operations may change. For the tour, you should also take current route conditions into account.
