2 From the windswept rocky slopes along the coastline to dramatic mountain wilderness, expansive plateaus and looming mountaintops, from small idyllic farms to large international technology and IT centres. Stave churches and trendy lively cities. Adventures and activities - Buskerud is a county of many opportunities. LOCATION Buskerud County was established in 1760 and is located centrally in South-eastern Norway. The county is divided into 21 municipalities and stretches from the mountains of Hemsedal in the north to Hurum on the southern coast. Its centralised location makes travelling in Norway and travelling to or from foreign countries easy. Everything is just a short trip away by car, bus, train, boat or airplane. Drammen is the county s main hub for traffic, with a large harbour, and is the terminal station for the express train to Oslo Gardermoen international airport. THE LOCAL POPULATION AND BUSINESS & INDUSTRY Communities in the north-western part of the county are only found in the long and narrow valleys of Hallingdal, Numedal, Sigdal, Eggedal and in adjacent mountain ranges. The economic base for these communities is agriculture, forestry, tourism and hydropower production. Most of these communities are located in the lowlands in the southeast part of the county. This is where the most fertile agricultural land is found around Tyrifjorden and along the Drammenselva River, to name just two examples. The southern part of the county has a variety of businesses and services, especially in the cities of Drammen, Hønefoss and Kongsberg. THE COUNTY S ORIGINS The county s name comes from a farm named Buskerud (Biskopsrud) in Modum. The county s coat of arms consists of important elements from the county. The bear is the main element on the coat of arms because Vassfaret and

The blue colour on the bear is a beautiful cobalt blue once extracted from around Modum by the Blaafarveværket. The silver shield symbolises the enormous wealth that the silver mines at Kongsberg once extracted from the ground. Hemsedal 1. The Strømsø Torg (market square) in Drammen 2.
