View WW2 Gunpowder Factory Cave - Tyfors -S17

When war broke out in 1939, Sweden needed to increase its stocks of ammunition at a faster rate than Bofors could produce, and it became necessary to set up a war production. The village of Tyfors was chosen because of its strategic location deep in the Dalarna forests, but despite its isolated location it had good communications out into the country. The facility that was blasted out of the ancient rock was called Tyfors 2 and consisted of several large rock rooms, called ships, connected by smaller tunnels and exits. Around 70 people worked inside the mountain, but the workforce could be doubled if needed with a manufacturing capacity that could reach 18,500 kilos per week. Since the end of the war, the facility has been left to its fate and is now slowly being eaten away by the moisture. Many machines have been dismantled for a long time, but quite a few still remain, left behind deep in the rock. Whether it's actually an attraction is questionable, but it's definitely an odd outing. The stagnant air is heavy with mold spores and the puddles on the floor aren't necessarily water, but that hasn't stopped countless adventurous visitors from exploring the maze-like facility over the years. Even SVT has been there on one occasion to record an episode of the TV series Hemliga rum.
