Røros Mining Town and the Circumference, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Røros, Norway.
The wooden buildings of Røros stand in neat rows along the streets, forming an architectural ensemble that reflects 333 years of copper mining operations.
The discovery of copper ore in 1644 transformed Røros into a major industrial center, contributing substantially to Norway's economy for three centuries.
The annual Rørosmartnan market continues local trading traditions, gathering craftspeople and producers in the historic streets of the town.
Visitors can reach Røros by direct train from Oslo and Trondheim, with regular connections operating throughout the year.
The protected area includes not only the town but also the Circumference, a vast 45-kilometer region encompassing historical mining landscapes.
