Drammen - Market Square

(Local Name: Bragernes Torg) In the market square of Drammen (Bragernes Torg) is the attractive modern St Hallvard's Fountain. In the Bragernes district are a church of 1877 - a prominent landmark - and the Town Hall (1872), which in 1986 was awarded the Europa Nostra Prize for a particularly successful restoration. From here a toll road runs up in a spiral tunnel 1,700m/1,850yd long (six turns with a radius of 35m/115ft and a gradient of 10%) to the summit of Bragernesåsen (293m/960ft; fine views; Åspaviljongen summer restaurant). To the northeast lies the lonely forest lake of Klopptjern (alt. 218m/715ft).
