Review:

Approximately an hour away from Oslo, Kongsberg is a historic little town that provides a welcome contrast to the bustling city streets. Its name translates as “the mountain of the King", a reference to the fact that it's the home of both the Royal Norwegian Mint and of the King's Silver Mine, which dates back to the 1800s. Today, the mines are one of the area's most popular tourist attractions, and visitors can take a guided tour right into the depths of the mountain. Other attractions in the city include the Norwegian Mining Museum, the Church of Kongsberg, and the Kongsberg Ski Resort. Kongsberg
