The zinc mines of the Allmannajuvet gorge are an abandoned mining works in Sauda, Ryfylke. The mines were operational from 1881 until the end of 1899. During this period 12,000 tonnes of zinc ore were extracted! Today the area has been turned into a museum. The simple but spectacular buildings in the gorge are designed in the tradition of industrial construction which blends well into the terrain. The area will be completed in 2016 so that we will be able to provide information about the industrial history of the place and make the old mines accessible to the public.

Svandalsfossen
Attraction along Ryfylke
Svandalsfossen waterfall, between the industrial town of Sauda and Ropeid, is a mighty spectacle when the river is in flood. The steps which lead you upwards along a foaming and rushing river towards the main cascade, and down the road to the fjord, look almost like a children’s slide when you stand at the top. You are safely led upward and downward and find yourself in close contact with the amazing waterfall and the lush and mystical vegetation that characterizes the area.

Architectural Review article about Allmannajuvet in Sauda, Norway.
A set of simple orthogonal structures are positioned in the terrain like watch towers or giant chess pieces. Supported on timber frames with walls of smooth black pitch, their intense, light-sucking blackness against the snow has a curiously concentrated visual potency. And despite their laconic formal spirit, recalling the industrial structures that used to occupy the site, the forensic precision of their making stands out against the wildness of nature, marking the return of human concern with the long-extinct lives of mineworkers in the harsh world of 19th-century industry.

The cultural landscape, museum farm and buildings all look as original as in the late 1800s. A walk on an old road leads to the Kvedna falls, the floormill and the drying kiln. A relaxing short walk in a very beautiful landscape above the Saudafjord a 2 hours drive North East of Stavanger Norway -
