The sights in Røros are mostly based on industrial archaeology or straight history. The guide on the walking tour told an interesting story about the top left house in the street shown in the photo.

The lady who lived there, before it was boarded up in the late 90s, had to be taken into hospital at a very advanced age. Apparently she protested vehemently about having a bath, something she had not done in a long time. As they peeled off layer after layer of clothing she whooped in delight at finding long lost clothes. Sadly she died shortly afterwards.

The road leads to the old smelting mill and other remains of a mining town.
