PriceFrom kr999.00

Title: Røros – Old log houses on the road up to the slaughterhouses

In this beautiful scene, a quiet street opens up like a time corridor into Norway's mining town history. The old log houses stand close together along the road, as if guarding the secrets of generations who lived and worked here. The dark woodwork of the walls, worn by weather, wind and centuries, bears the mark of both pride and toil — a living testament to Røros' distinctive cultural heritage.

The winding road gently leads the eye upwards towards the slag heaps, where copper was once extracted from the interior of the mountain. The colours of the house facades — gold, brown, black and the iconic rose green — create a harmonious palette that reflects both tradition and nature’s own tones.

The cloud cover over the city casts a soft, subdued light that enhances the sense of tranquility, while the silence in the street is almost audible. It is as if time stands still for a moment, and you can feel history breathing between the wooden walls, in the stone walls and in the old cobblestones.

A piece of Norwegian cultural heritage — timeless, authentic and full of soul.
