Tyrifjorden

Norway has a lake called Tyrifjorden which is one of the most beautiful lakes in Norway. It is the country's fifth-largest lake with a surface size of 139 km2, located 40 kilometers northwest of Oslo. It is 63 meters above sea level, 13 km3 in volume, and 295 meters deep at its deepest. The Begna river, which empties into Tyrifjorden near Hønefoss and creates the Hønefoss waterfall, is the lake's principal source. Its main discharge point is at Vikersund, close to the southwest corner of the lake, where Tyrifjorden empties into the Drammenselva river.

The lake's three major bays give it a distinctive form, and the eastern portion contains a number of islands. Vikersund is the principal settlement along the lake, while Hnefoss, which is located immediately to the north of the lake on the Begna, is the most significant settlement in the area. Highways encircle the lake on all sides, and a rail line runs parallel to its western coast. There are campgrounds, a golf course, hiking paths, and picnic places, and you can drive all the way around it.
