Mini Canyon is a small but visually striking geological site located in Drammen, Norway. Visitors are often captivated by the unique rock formations, which have been described as looking like the remnants of an ancient civilization. While the site itself is compact, it is situated near a lake equipped with picnic tables and BBQ facilities, making it a pleasant spot to rest and enjoy the outdoors. Accessing the canyon requires navigating a trail that can be steep, slippery, and occasionally flooded, so it is most recommended for those already hiking in the surrounding Buskerud area. It serves as a rewarding, rugged detour for nature enthusiasts.

Mini Canyon in Drammen is generally appreciated for its unique and interesting rock formations, with one visitor noting they look like remnants of a former civilization. However, reviewers caution that the site is relatively small and may not be worth a dedicated trip on its own. The approach trail is a point of contention, described as poorly maintained, steep, slippery, and occasionally flooded. Visitors recommend it primarily as a stop for those already hiking in the area. The nearby lake area is a highlight for many, offering picnic tables and BBQ spots that provide a relaxing environment. Overall, it is seen as a worthwhile detour for nature lovers who are prepared for a bit of a scramble.
