Mine adventure
Price: 3 250 SEK per person (minimum three and maximum six people)
The mine adventure begins with an approximately 40-minute car ride to one of Sweden's most beautiful open-pit mines. Once there, we start by descending into the pit via a 200-meter-long mine tunnel. 25 meters down into the mountain, a fantastically beautiful quarry opens up with moss and tree-covered cliff walls and late-grown trees. Here we wander around for a while and admire the surroundings. After the hike, we sit down at the top of the mine to have lunch, including drinks.
Ghost Mine
After visiting the open pit, we travel for about ten minutes before arriving at the hidden and nearly forgotten Ghost Mine. Here, iron was mined a long time ago, and the mine dates back to the 18th century. It is 50 meters deep and consists of three levels. We head to the top for a safety briefing and rappelling exercises. Once we feel ready, we crawl under the fence to start lowering ourselves into the mine. The first ledge is just 15 meters, while the second ledge is 35 meters deep into the mountain to a cavity. When we reach the cavity, we light torches to make our way out through the mine via a 250-meter-long – and partially water-filled – mine tunnel. It's a peculiar feeling to walk underground in the light of the torches, and we try to be quiet so as not to awaken the mine ghost that guards the underworld. When we come out of the mine, we warm up to a small dinner to satisfy hungry stomachs.
When you purchase the Mine Adventure, you can also add a zipline adventure (red or black course) for 1 000 SEK per person.
