Deep into the heart of the ore
Dannemora Gruvor at Österbybruk, roughly 40 kilometres north of Söderfors, is a one-of-a-kind adventure for anyone brave enough to venture underground. Here you can combine a visit to the mining museum with an actual descent into one of the ore mines – an experience few places in the region offer.
What makes Dannemora special is the chance to actually go down into the mines with experienced guides. Visitors describe it as thrilling but manageable – a blend of history and adventure that creates unforgettable moments. The organisers, Erik and Viktoria, are passionate about sharing the story of the ore and make sure you feel safe underground.
For families, adventurers and history lovers
The place suits both families looking for something out of the ordinary and adults who enjoy history with a dash of excitement. You don’t need to be an experienced climber – the guides tailor the experience to your level. Many who’ve never tried anything like it before have done this and managed without fear.
Before or after your mine descent, you can explore the area around Österbybruk, where old industrial sites and beautiful natural surroundings await.
