The Olavsgruva copper mine is 12 km east of Røros. Here the copper ore was extracted and transported to the smelters in Røros. This was one of the last mines to be exploited in roros. Now it is a mine museum where time has literally stood still. Many of the old machines still work perfectly, so who knows All around you is the atmosphere of copper and the dull sweat of stalactite caves. There was a lot of hard work in the bowels of mother earth, you were paid per kilo of ore. "Don't whine, just dig", was the motto. If you had a god day then the outside world noticed.
