Buskerud's western part was a mountainous plateau with forested valleys and high, grassy pastures; its eastern part contains a lowland basin with many lakes and streams. [[Tyrifjorden]] and [[Krøderen (lake)|Krøderen]] were the biggest lakes. [[Numedalslågen]], the third longest river in Norway, starting in [[Hordaland]], ran through Buskerud unto Vestfold where it reached the sea, while river [[Begna (river)|Begna]] sweeps into lake [[Sperillen]].
