Tips from the Community
This is the site of the oak tree known as The Old Master (Den Gamle Mester). This tree was made famous by the poetry of poet Jørgen Moe. In 1853 Moe became a resident chaplain in Sigdal and Krødsherad, a position he held for ten years. At Noresund he found inspiration for one of his most famous poems, "The Old Master". - https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_gamle_Mester - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noresund

The outdoor area can be visited freely. The museum railway was not yet in operation in May. We were lucky and, thanks to a member of staff who was present, we were able to take a look inside the train station.
