UNESCO - Røros Mining Town, Norway



Who would link this gorgeous little town with mining? Røros Mining Town and the Circumference is linked to the copper mines, established in the 17th century and exploited for 333 years until 1977. The site comprises the Town and its industrial-rural cultural landscapes - it contains about 2000 wooden one- and two-storey houses, many of which have preserved their blackened wooden façades, giving the town a medieval appearance.
Thank you so much Trond, it looks like one of those places you want to transfer to immediately..!
