Sala Silver MineFormerly a working silver mine in V?¤stmanland County, Sala
stopped major production in 1908, and has since been transformed
into something of a tourist attraction. Guided tours are conducted
down the mine, which also hosts concerts and other events. There is
even an unusual hotel room located several hundred metres
belowground! Aboveground, most buildings in Sala have been converted into
shops, art galleries, and museums. The town hosts Christmas markets
on weekends in December, while in July the Mine's Days are
celebrated. |
