Kleva gruva

Kleva gruva

One of Sweden's oldest mines was closed in 1914-15 and silted for decades. But in 2005, a new life began: Kleva Gruva Äventyrsberget, with tours, gold panning, and hidden treasure to find.

Kleva gruva, discovered in 1691, was excavated for copper until Jöns Jacob Berzelius found nickel in it in 1838. It was closed in 1914-15 and filled with silt. In 2005, a new life began: Kleva Gruva Äventyrsberget. Today, the site offers mining tours, gold panning, and hidden treasure for visitors.
