is a municipality in the county of Telemark,
Norway . It borders to the north with
Nore Og Uvdal , to the east with
Notodden ,
Hjartdal and
Seljord , and to the west with
Vinje .
Tinn stretches deeply into the
Hardangervidda landscape. One landmark in Tinn is the 1883 metre tall mountain
Gaustatoppen , climbed each year by 30,000 people. On clear days it is possible to see one sixth of Norway from its summit.
Krossobanen is the oldest
Aerial Tramway in
Northern Europe . It was built in
1928 as a gift from
Norsk Hydro .
The
Waterfall Rjukanfossen on the
Måne River allowed construction of
Vemork , the largest power station in the world in
1911 . The station has become a museum where one can explore the history of the energy and see exhibits about the industrial development in Norway and at
Rjukan , the municipality center of Tinn.
The museum is most famous for its presentation of Rjukan's war history. During
World War II , Vemork was the site of the
Norwegian Heavy Water Sabotage , when Norwegian saboteurs prevented the Germans from producing
Atomic Weapons from the
Heavy Water which was produced here. The exhibit "Atomkappløpet" ("The nuclear race") presents the four heavy water sabotages and the allied efforts to develop a nuclear bomb.
