Tips from the Community

August 25, 2025, Old Copper Mines

It's worth following the path for 2 kilometers to Storgruvan ("Great Pit"). The Källargruvan copper mine in the Mangen area was in operation from the 16th century until the early 20th century. The ore contained primarily chalcopyrite, from which only a few percent of copper could be extracted. Mining resulted in large waste dumps, and the shafts are now mostly filled with water. Oxidation led to the formation of striking blue-green shimmering minerals such as malachite and azurite in the mines.

If you follow the hiking trail a few meters from the intersection towards the old Karlsvik loading port, you will find the remains of the old cable car on the right.

A few meters further, you can see the old Karlsvik shipping port on Lake Mången. Foundations and stone remains can still be seen on both sides of the stream.
