Råde, Kleiva & Enga, Norway - Excited adventure inside the cave feltspatgruva

2015-01-11

Our path leaded us to the mine Åkerberggruve, which is located in the municipality of Råde, in Norway. For around tree hours on Sunday 4th January 2015, our path took us around in the wild forest. Along the way we crossed a frozzen creek, a streaming creek, observed a small mysterious cabin, moss covered stones, green mountain ridges, different kind of trees, strange art shaped by Mother Nature and the silent pond Isebakktjern.

The mine Åkeberggruva, is a closed feltspatgruve mine, which operated from about 1880 to the beginning of the 1900s. Here it was taken out feltspar and quartz glass for use in the glass- and porcelain industry. The mineral was brought down to the place Solli by horse and sleigh for shipment from there. We needed to "climb" little bit to reach the cave higher up on the mountain ridge.

The caved looked huge from inside. Sunrays lit up some parts of the cave so it was not totally dark there.The cave gives a good shelter when it`s poor weather. It`s possible to stay overnight in the cave, which has two large openings and a high "roof". There is established a bonfire place inside the cave. On the top of the mountain rigde - just above the cave - there are some nice viewpoints of the wild landscape in Råde. To reach the top, you need to climb - if you dare.

We started our tour from the area Kleiva and Engen, which is located near Slangvoll in Råde, not so far from the municipal boundary against Sarpsborg. A walking trip from here takes around 20-30 minutes in a little bit challenging terrain. An alternative route to this old mine is from the place Solli through the pond Isebakktjern.

The area constitute a paradise for outdoor recreation and experience of pristine forest and untouched nature. Read more.
