Here lies the ruins of the "machine building". The house was a two-storey residential building for miners. A steam engine was installed in one of the rooms in the house, hence the name of the house. The steam engine probably provided the driving force for a mine rod up to the Torskebäcks mine. After the mine was closed in 1906, the house served as a poorhouse until the 1920s.

The excavation of Tilas tunnel began in 1767. The work was carried out by "miners from Sala". According to available information, the tunnel is 26 m long. It is named after the noble mining captain Daniel Tilas (1712-1772). Source:Display board

You walk through a sheep enclosure where the sheep are very trusting. One sheep came straight up to us and we were able to pet it.

This is probably the highlight of a hike in this beautiful nature reserve. In a slightly crouched position, you walk about 50 m through the tunnel and reach a "clearing" in front of the mine entrance. Don't miss it.
