Hvittingfoss, Norway by drone - DJI Mavic 2 Pro

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : For centuries, Norway's vast forests have been an important source of both lumber and manufactured products such as paper. In this drone video by ToB Creations, you'll get an aerial view of a town at the heart of the Norwegian forest products industry. It's called Hvittingfoss, and it's located in the municipality of Kongsberg in Buskerud County, in the southeastern part of the country. With its prodigious forests and ample water power to drive sawmills, the town was once one of the world's largest producers of paper pulp.

Hvittingfoss is a village in Kongsberg municipality in Norway. At the waterfall that has given the place its name, people have been living for a long time. Rock carvings that were found to be from the Bronze Age, ca. 1000-500 BC, can be seen on a small bare rock in the river Numedalslågen, below where the power station is now. These can not be seen from the air though. ;) Hvittingfoss' growth throughout history is based on timber and industry around wood processing.
