Although we didn’t take a guided the scenery is truly stunning. The tea I tried, made with local herbs was, surprisingly, tasty. The cafe has a dramatic, astonishing and beautiful atmosphere. Speaking of beautiful, the waitress was really nice and kind. Allmannajuvet zinc mines offer a cool journey back in time! A visit to the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mines is an absolute must-stop on the Ryfylke panoramic route! This disused mine (operational from 1881-1899) is now a fascinating historical landmark, housed in buildings designed with a striking industrial style by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. We took the guided tour, and our guide, Kaspar, was incredibly knowledgeable. He really made the history come alive, transporting us back 150 years to the operational days of the mine. The itself is about 1.5 hours and the organization provides helmets with torches, but be warned: the mine is roughly 6°C and quite slippery! So, wear good shoes and a jacket! After our tour, we were welcomed by the extremely friendly hostess at the café. A huge shout-out to her – she even safe-guarded my wallet which I'd forgotten before entering the mine! The homemade soup of the day (chicken soup with some fresh focaccia) and a fresh Norwegian waffle were absolutely delicious. Practical Info: The café and gallery are open June 15 - August 17 (10:00-16:00). Guided tours run daily at 10:30 and 13:30. The admission is NOK 170 for adults. Seriously, try to time your visit for a tour; it's a unique experience! You can book tickets online or scan the QR code at the cafe. Personally I don't get it. But people seem to enjoy it. If these buildings by Zhuntor can bring some tourists to Sauda, it will benefit even the doubters. In any case I encourage everyone to go see the buildings. The current location on google map is wrong. The map points you to the old tourist information office wich has moved to the public library Probably a nice place, but the hiking trail is closed to the public without paid fee. I understand that they have to keep the mines closed, but thetraile should be open to everyone. The building and cafee were nothing to brag about eithet. I haven't been to the mines but the cafe is worth a visit too. Cool building standing on wooden columns with a beautiful view over the nearby river. If you spend money to build such a huge complex, better do it the right way: it was closed even though it should be open. Excellent. We booked online to one of the walking tours. They take you into the mine itself and provide lots of background. Simon, our guide, was brilliant, he knew the history and was happy to chat in English (Thank you Simon). The architecture of the museum, cafe etc was stunning. A nice surprise on the way. Totally unplanned stop in an intriguing place.
