Kleva Mine
Kleva Mine is a former copper and nickel mine located in northern Småland, about 15 km east of Vetlanda. Here, in the forest on Kleva Mountain, you will find the mine surrounded by the beautiful Småland landscape with hills, forests, lakes and the typical red wooden houses with white corners. Since 1991 the mine has been open to the public and is visited each year by thousands of people between May and August.
