In Part 2 of our virtual running tour in Froland, we continue our journey through Osedalen, a charming area known for its mix of historic roots and modern life. While running through Osedalen, you’re passing through an area that has historically been a hub of small-scale industry and commerce. This part of Froland developed around the Arendal–Treungen railway, which played a crucial role in transporting goods and people between local businesses and the surrounding towns.
In the past, Osedalen had industries such as:
✅ Sawmills & Timber Processing – The forests around Froland provided ample timber, supporting sawmills that helped shape the local economy.
✅ Metal Workshops & Small Factories – Various small-scale industries operated here, taking advantage of railway transport to ship products.
✅ Trade & Commerce Hub – With the railway station nearby, Osedalen grew into a key commercial center for Froland, where goods were exchanged and transported.
Today, while the railway is no longer operational, Osedalen remains an important center for modern businesses and residential life, blending its industrial past with contemporary developments.This workout is the second video in a longer adventure. Keep up the momentum with any of the other videos
