In the spring, Nybrufoss Waterfall’s churning waters are a beautiful sight right in the middle of the middle of the town centre. Although the Nybrufoss Power Station was first established in 1911.
A tree made of Glass stands on the riverbank on one side of the Nybrua Bridge. Inaugurated by the Mayor on 2006, the glass tree was a gift of thanks from Kongsberg’s twin town, Gouda in Holland, marking the 50 years that Kongsberg has sent Gouda a Christmas tree, a sign of friendship from a mining town in Norway’s Buskerud Country to the home of Dutch Gouda cheese.
As a part of the road from Kongsberg to Vestfossen, the first bridge over the river was built in 1641. However, this Nybrua Bridge was swept away in a flood in 1860 and ne bridge was completed in 1862. The present Nybrua Bridge was opened in 1950 and formally taken over in 1953. A through overhauling was carried out in 2006 including new railings and beautiful coin and medal decorations as well as illumination of both bridge and waterfall.
