Norway:
Tidlig på 1600-tallet ble det funnet kobbermalm på Rusthøe. Det ble satt i gang gruvedrift, og et lite bergverkssamfunn ble etablert ved Ulas utløp i lågen ved dagens Selsverket. Verket fikk sine kongelige privilegier i 1642. Gruverestene har høg kulturminneverdi, da de har fått ligge i fred etter at gruvedriften stilnet av utpå 1700-tallet og dermed er tilnærmet urørte. Vi kan derfor finne en rekke driftspor og objekter fra denne tiden. Informasjonstavler gir opplysninger om kulturminner.
English:
In the early 17Th Century copper ore was discovered in the rusthøe Hils. Mining was started and a small mining community was established at the confluence of The Ula Stream and The Lågen River. The village was given the name Selsverket. The mining company received its Royal privilege in 1642.
The site has remained virtually untouched since the production was given up in the 18th Century, and objects as well as traces of the activities are still visible. Information boards draw your attention to objects of historical relevance.
