Visit the silvermines
|
 |
 |
In Kongsberg you may take a small train 2,3 km into the mountain. Here you will hav a guided tour for about 1 hour, and the train takes you safely out again. The history of Kongsberg and this region is grounded on the mining, and the silver was property of the danish-norwegian king. The mining started in 1623. It ended in 1957 due to the cost of mining. Some say there still is lot of silver left in our mountains... | |
