Mine adventure

Price: 3 250 SEK per person (min 4 person, alt. 13 000 SEK and max 6 person)

10.00-18.00

We meet at Base Camp to start with registration before getting in the cars and driving about 40 minutes to Hörnebo Skiffergruva ( slate mine which is told as one of Sweden’s most beautiful open-pit mines.

Upon arrival, we begin by viewing the mine from above, then we enter the mine through a 200-meter-long tunnel. About 25 meters down into the mountain, a stunningly beautiful pit opens up, with moss, tree-covered rock walls, and mature trees.

Here we take a walk around and admire the surroundings. After the walk in the pits, it’s time to drive on to the next, more forgotten mine.

Ghost Mine

After visiting the open pit, we drive about 10 minutes to reach the hidden and almost forgotten Ghost Mine. Here iron was mined long ago, and the mine dates back to the 18th century. It is 50 meters deep and has three levels.

Before starting, we have a simple lunch outside the mine to recharge for the more physically active part ahead.

We climb to the top for a safety briefing and rappelling exercises. When we feel ready, we begin rappelling down into the mine. The first drop is only 15 meters with a nice free-hang at the end, while the second is a 35-meter descent down to a cavern.

When we reach the cavern, we light torches and enjoy a traditional mine fika with cinnamon rolls and coffee. During fika, we also turn off the lights to fully experience the darkness deep underground.

After fika, it’s time to exit via a 250-meter-long, partly water-filled tunnel. Just a few meters in, you’ll need to roll up your pants and wade through the cold water - what we call Cold Water Walking.

Walking underground by the light of the lamps is a strange sensation, and we try to be quiet so as not to wake the ghost said to guard the mine.

Afterwards, we change clothes, pack up, and drive back to Base Camp together.

Frequently asked questions

What should I wear and bring?

Your own car for transport between locations following our lead vehicle. About 60 km round trip.

We always recommend clothing suitable for the activities. This means comfortable sportswear or outdoor clothing, and sturdy shoes or sneakers.

If rain is expected, bring your own rainwear. It can be cold in the mine, so a small backpack with extra sweater and pants is a good idea.

For a more comfortable walk at the end, we recommend bringing your own flip-flops, sandals, or water shoes. A water bottle is always good to have on an adventure.
