About Birkelunden Bed & Breakfast

Birkelunden Bed & Breakfast is beautifully situated by the river Måna, in the middle of the World Heritage town of Rjukan. Here, historic surroundings, proximity to nature and a calm atmosphere meet, making it easy to relax. With a short distance to both city life, culture and mountain experiences,

Birkelunden is a natural choice for both visiting adventurers and guests looking for a peaceful break. Birkelunden is a pleasant and informal accommodation where we place great emphasis on well-being, security and warm encounters between people. We want to create an environment that is experienced as personal and welcoming – a place where you feel welcome from the first moment, and where good experiences are in focus.

In 2024 and 2025, Birkelunden has been renovated to give guests an even better and more modern setting for their stay.

We are proud to be part of the local community in Rjukan, and are happy to share tips and recommendations for everything the area has to offer – whether you want to explore Gaustatoppen, learn about the history of the industrial town or discover small and large gems in the surrounding area.

Birkelunden Bed & Breakfast is run by Arena Kompetanse AS, an employment and inclusion company. This means that your stay will not only provide good memories, but also contribute to creating meaningful work opportunities for people who need support in working life.

We warmly welcome you to Birkelunden – a warm and inclusive place in the middle of Rjukan’s unique world.
