Falun - Falu Mine
|
|
On the southwest side of Falun is the Falu Mine (Falu Gruva), which is reached by way of Gruvgatan. The opencast workings extend over an area 400m/440yd by 350m/380yd and are up to 95m/310ft deep; below this the underground workings go down to a depth of 450m/1,475ft. In the middle of the 17th century the mine produced some 3,000 tons of crude copper annually, or about two-thirds of total world output at that time.
