Långblå

Långblå mine is an odd mining venture from the early 1900’s, almost giving the impression that it was a hobby project, driven by a local enthusiast. Which by the way it seems like it was… The mine is located in a very dense forest and the collapsed all-wood head frame gives a somewhat surrealistic appearance and it more looks like an abandoned timber cabin. Still loaded with heavy ore, the head frame finally collapsed. Coarse trunks points in all directions and the rails of the inclined hoist seem to be the only non-wooden material used…
