About location

Løkken Verk lies at the upper end of the Orkla valley in Trøndelag, a setting whose settlement and transport links were shaped for centuries by copper mining. The Løkken mine operated from 1654 until 1987, leaving an industrial legacy that still defines this compact community. Ore once travelled on the Thamshavn Railway to the port at Thamshavn; the line is now preserved as a heritage railway. Low timber buildings, broad streets and wooded valley slopes give the centre a distinctly inland Norwegian character, while local mining history remains central to its identity.
