This building is the most imporant relic of the mine. The yellow elevator tower and main concentration plants have been very close to this.
|
 |
Ends of this red brick building have been recently covered with corrugated steel. I wonder why, since the building is practically abandoned.
|
 |
As a reminder of mining, one silo tank has been left to the backyard.
|
 |
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.

 |
Teija's boutique is closed and no there's no second-guessing about the reason.
|
 |
Company closed the mine, but they left a nice loader for the people to admire.
|
 |
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.

The drive comes from our beloved western neighbour country.
