Mine sights in Evje

  1. Flåt Nikkelgruve

    A summer visit to Flåt Nikkelgruve, once Europe’s largest nickel mine with a shaft 440m deep, takes you deep into the earth on a fascinating underground tour that’s not for the claustrophobic. Temperatures down there drop to 5°C so wear warm clothes. It’s 3.3km off the Rv9; the turn-off is around 2km north of Evje.

  2. Evje Mineralsti

    Reached via the same road as the nickel mine, Evje Mineralsti covers five small mines for those who aren't satisfied by rocks found by other people. Digging for your own requires a permit which is available at the site or, sometimes, from the information centre in town.
