Røros, a mountain town in the county of Trøndelag in central Norway, is famous for its rich mining history and well-preserved wooden buildings. Founded in the 17th century, the town was once an important copper mining center in Europe and is known as "Bergstaden," a UNESCO World Heritage Site with some 2,000 traditional wooden houses, pits and smelter ruins still standing. In winter, Leros is covered in snow, creating a fairytale-like landscape that attracts many visitors who come to experience the unique Sami culture, winter sports and traditional festivals.
