Damtjern is a small lake in Ringerike in Buskerud county, Norway. Damtjern is situated within the Krokskogen forested area.[1]
There is a road up to Damtjern from Stubbdal, a village situated at the head of Åsa in Ringerike. Damtjern is a setting-off point for walking in the area, both during summer and winter. Between Stubbdal and Damtjern there are old tracks to the Conveyor in Asa (Kjerraten i Åsa). At the Conveyor Museum (Kjerratmuseet) it is possible to learn how the Swedish engineer Samuel Bagge (1774-1814) made it possible for Peder Anker of Bogstad to move timber to Damtjern from Steinsfjorden, before floating it down to the Sørkedalselva river in Sørkedalen.[2][3][4]
