Woie Gruver
A feldspar/quartz mine that was started in 1885 and abandoned by the end of the 1950's.
After the first 7 years of mining a 95 meter long tunnel was blasted out, reaching the other side of the hill. After some people removed the supports, the west-end of the tunnel collapsed.
This is mine registered as a non-protected cultural heritage site (kulturminnesok.no nr. 224758-1).
