dm-r10-vih_kavisos34 This building is the most imporant relic of the mine. The yellow elevator tower and main concentration plants have been very close to this.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos32 Ends of this red brick building have been recently covered with corrugated steel. I wonder why, since the building is practically abandoned.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos36 As a reminder of mining, one silo tank has been left to the backyard.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos33 As required by law, the "dangerous area" has been fenced. But there isn't very much to see there, except dirt roads and water pits.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos37 Teija's boutique is closed and no there's no second-guessing about the reason.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos38 Company closed the mine, but they left a nice loader for the people to admire.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos40 I don't suppose it was with this equipment that the mine ran with for last decades. Vihanti was a very profitable unit for Outokumpu Oy.
