Røros day trip

Photos from our day trip to the town of Røros - formerly a copper mining town for 300 years that went bankrupt in 1977. Now the town mainly relies on tourism.

 [The buildings along this river previously had waterwheels for processing smelt. Historically, there were only two main streets through the town, and are still the main streets today]
 [Beautiful church built with the town in the 1700s - the landmark of Røros]
 [Standing on top of the slag - cold and windy]
