Allmannajuvet

Allmannajuvet is a ravine or canyon located along the river Storelva in the municipality of Sauda in Rogaland county, Norway. The ravine is located in a rural, forested area along the Norwegian County Road 520 between the town of Sauda and the village of Hellandsbygda.

During the 19th century, this was the site of a large zinc mine which was in operation between 1881-1895. The former mine site is maintained as an annex of Ryfylke Museum.^[1] ^[2]
