One of the world's mineralest sites with a story that began 1.8 billion years ago. Iron ore has been broken here since the beginning of the 16th century and as late as the 1970s, the mining quietly silenced.

For you as a visitor, there are a wealth of activities that suit big and small and opportunities for good food and a good night's sleep.
