Not a fantastic shot, but an amazing place. 'Akersberg mine' in the middle of Oslo, Norway, is a well hidden silver mine which dates back to the medieval ages and is believed to be the oldest mine on Norway. The mine is mentioned in a book written in the year 1170 but some believe the mine actually existed when Harald Hardråde founded the city of Oslo around the year 1050 and that the vikings got a lot of their silver from here and not just from plundering.

This part is an adit ('stoll' in Norwegian) which is a tunnel dug horizontally straight into the rock. The small wooden door in front of the entrance was surprisingly open. This mine is surly a well hidden secret underneath Oslo. Parts of the mine is under water and impossible to enter without diving gear.

On Oslo-missions with Thoryllo. Thanks for showing me this historic place. :)
