Where Gudbrandsdalsleden meets the river Svorka you’ll find Svorkmo Smelting Works. Copper ore came here from the the copper mines in Løkken. Three smelting huts were built here from 1657 to 1844 and the finished ore was transported to Trondheim by local farmers - in winter by sledge and in summer by pack animals.
