Kongsberg, Norway by drone - My hometown - DJI Mavic 2 Pro

We start slightly south of Kongsberg and follow the river Numedalslågen up to the town itself. We fly around and see some historic buildings and more. This is my hometown, centrally located in South-Eastern Norway. The town was founded in 1624 after the discovery of silver. Many German miners came. They had the expertise, but many also fled from the thirty-year war that ravaged Europe. Many names in the area testify to strong German influence. Today, Kongsberg is a city with many high-tech companies in defense, aviation, oil and gas.
Vi starter litt sør for Kongsberg og følger elven Numedalslågen opp til selve byen. Flyr litt rundt og ser noen historiske bygninger med mer. Dette er min hjemby, sentralt plassert på Østlandet. Byen ble grunnlagt i 1624 etter funn av sølv. Det kom mange tyske gruvearbeidere. De hadde kompetansen, men mange flyktet også fra tredveårskrigen som herjet i Europa. Mange navn i området vitner om sterk tysk innflytelse. I dag er Kongsberg en by med mange høyteknologiske bedrifter innen bl.a forsvar, luftfart, olje og gass.

Thank you! My grandfather was born in Kongsberg! Kim from Nevada, USA.

[@ToBCreations]

Thank you for watching! That's cool! A lot of Norwegians emigrated to USA and Canada during the 19th century and early 20th century. 🙂 Did he come to Nevada? Most Norwegians settled in the Midwest, from what I have read. I have had relatives who emigrated to Canada myself.

[@ToBCreations]

Thank you! 😊 Yes, Kongsberg is a quiet and little industrial town. But it has one of Norway's most important and biggest industries within defence, aerospace, oil and gas. And is close to almost everything; the sea, mountains and forests if you like outdoor activities - and Oslo. You are most welcome! 😉👍

[@Sunny-qe5el]

Tusen Takk. It was such a mesmerizing view. It refreshes my memories of living in Kongsberg. I think "Korshet" also plays a pivotal role when it comes to the foundation of Kongsberg.

[@ToBCreations]

Hello! And thank you for watching and commenting! 😊 So you have actually lived in Kongsberg? That's cool. For work or school? Yes, I guess you mean Korset, meaning The Cross in the hill above Kongsberg? You 're quite right. It's said to be the place where King Christian IV pointed out the location where the town should lay. It is also said he was drunk and pointed the wrong way. But that's another story. 😂

[@Sunny-qe5el]

@@ToBCreations Yes, I did. I was deputed several times in kongsberg for project work. I could have been there this year as well if not for this Pandemic and travel restrictions. I always used to wonder about the insides of that main church but never got a chance to get inside it, though the WiFi is very strong in that area 😀 Also, the interesting thing about Kongsberg. It's the only town in Norway that has the large number of engineers and technocrats. Jonas B. and the Sushi center (near the wire bridge or coop mini) is one of my favourite places to eat. du ha rett :) about korset I mentioned about korset because I like to hike a lot near funkelia and the areas around it. And one day while taking a stroll , by utter coincidence I found korset. Also you might see those abandoned mines around the places. During winter they get filled by snow and ice. And how they look during the start of summer when water permeates through them because of ice melting. It's give me eerie feeling whenever I walk beside one. But, all in all its great to be honest. Compare to City dwellers , one can also observe that people here always meet and greet you. While hiking I had this experience every time. I think, I have so many great things to say about it and it would be a very long essay. No pun intended. Tusen Takk. Share more such videos 👍🏻

[@ToBCreations]

Thank you! It's always interesting to see or hear what people from outside think about our small town. 😊 It's not without flaws, but I think its location, relatively close to the mountains, coast and capital makes it a good place to live. And Kongsberg is rich in history. By the time the main church was finished in 1760's Kongsberg was Norway's second largest town, only Bergen was larger. And it was talk of making it the capital. It's a little hard to comprehend today. 😅 Most of my films are from areas around Kongsberg, so you are most welcome to check them out. And subscribe if you haven't already. 😉👍

[@ToBCreations]

Thanks for watching and commenting. 😃 I had to check out the channel and I see what you mean. This reminded me of a concept on Norwegian television where we could follow Bergensbanen and other railway courses "minute by minute". Even followed the Hurtigruten coastal route during a seven day period. 😄 Kind of strange, but very popular. And as you say, a nice way to see Norway. If you're interested in railways I have a series on my channel called Numedalsbanen. I follow along (with drone) large parts of the closed tracks from Kongsberg up the valley of Numedal. 🙂

Dette var bra! Vakkert å se på. Musikken var nydelig. Jeg liker starten da du flyr over mye vann. Følger elven Numedalslågen oppover. Utrolig vakkert. Når man ser filmer som dette da skjønner man at Norge er verdens vakreste land å bo i. Veldig bra Torbjørn. Du er god med drone og flink til å redigere. Tusen takk for en vakker film.

[@ToBCreations]

Og tusen takk for fin og inspirerende kommentar! 🤗 Tanken var å lage en slags "historie" hvor man kommer og forlater byen via vannveien. Når man legger inn all råfilmen i redigeringsprogrammet vet man ikke alltid hvordan man skal angripe det. For meg hjelper det som regel å få musikken på plass. Da finner man en slags rytme på det. Igjen, tusen takk!🙏😀

You're a good pilot. I see a quiet flight. full control of the flight. The video description says you are proud of your country. You have to be proud of Norway. She's more beautiful than women. Norway is graceful for its nature and I believe that Norwegian people are better than Czechs.

[@ToBCreations]

Thank you so much for that very nice comment! I will admit that I love my country and hometown despite the flaws it might have. Love your comment "more beautiful than women". 😊 I guess it depends on the woman. You are most welcome to visit Norway also. I saw Geir's videos from some of your Czech towns. I think they look beautiful and clean. I'd like to visit your country some day. Thank you again for your fine comments!👍

[@bullDJI]

@@ToBCreations I just wrote the truth about what I see in the video. Norwegian nature is closer to me than a Miss. Mainly quiet and clean river. I believe even better people. Better economy. Your trip with Geir to Pilsen may become a reality next year. We can make a deal.You'll try the drone flight and the signals here. We will host you for free as Geira. There is an open landscape. Yesterday I flew to 5km. Total 10km. Signal 60% strong.

[@ToBCreations]

I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you, and we will see how things go! 😊 How are the drone rules in Czech Republic regarding restrictions? I'm guessing they are quite similar as here? Because of hills, forest and mountains one rarely can go very far before signal loss here. 🙂

Hello! Thank you for watching! 😊 I'm afraid I don't have any detailed knowledge about living expences, regarding housing for students. Only that I expect it to be cheaper than Oslo.
