"The municipality of my railway station " a Drangedal Travel Page by Rusket

Prestestranda is the administrative center of Drangedal, a small community of only 4143 people (01 jan 2005). Although small, you find everything you need here, like a bank, post office, internet cafe, railway station, shops and library in addition to administrative institutions.

Drangedal is situated inland in the south-eastern part of Norway. Summers are nice and warm, but winters might be very cold, down to (and below) -30 C.

As you can see from the picture, we are preparing ourselves for a cold winter at Brøsjø Station. Brøsjø lies in the southern part of the community, half an hours drive from the coast and the nearest city, Kragerø.

The southern main railway line of Norway, from Oslo to Stavanger, runs through the municipality. Trains stop at the community center Prestestranda and at Neslandsvatn, 4,1 km north of Brøsjø. From Neslandsvatn there is a bus connection to Kragerø, which is the one I use when going to my station :-)
