Kinneklevagruvan as a tourist destination

The racetrack was built in 1969 in an old open-pit mine. In the pit, alum shale was mined before and during World War II for the production of shale oil. East of the open pit, there are kilometer-long mine tunnels that today are only used as a water resource for the racetrack during skid driving. The mine tunnels in Kinne-Kleva are a fantastic experience to visit, but for most of the year they are inaccessible to visitors. It is not possible to enter and exit in a good way, and the tunnels are not secured as required for visitor mines. Walkways are needed, regulation of water levels, as well as reviewing entrances and exits and other safety measures.

A properly conducted feasibility study creates the conditions needed to seek funding. The feasibility study also provides insights into a suitable operational organization to be able to proceed and develop the mine into the tourist destination that it has the potential to become today.

When the project period is over, there will be a final report that answers whether and, above all, how a development of the mine could be carried out and what costs it would entail.
