Åmdals Verk is a small village in Tokke Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. The village is located about south of the municipal center of Dalen. The village is the site of a former copper mine. The mines were operational between 1691 and 1945, during which 8000t of copper were extracted from the ground. A branch of the Vest-Telemark Museum chronicles the history of the mines, and some of the tunnels are open to the public on guided tours during the summer season.[2] [3]
