Røros

Overview

Røros is a town south of Trondheim not far from the Swedish border. Its history is based largely on copper mining and there are many remains of the industry there. There is also a bus trip arranged to the mine itself. The town is now a World Heritage site.

The church interior is entirely of wood but, as marble was all the rage when it was built, you might find it hard to tell the difference.

This is a place where a guided walk is worth far more than it actually costs. You will learn a lot about the mining and farming history of the area.
