Description

Amtjämsbrottet is a disused limestone quarry, protected as a nature reserve thanks to its geologically interesting formations and large number of fossils. The leafy old quarry is also a beautiful and unusual place to visit with its steep sides, lush vegetation and exciting cliffs.

Amtjämsbrottet is located in the so-called Siljan Ring. The shape of the Siljan Ring was formed by a meteorite impact over 370 million years ago and is unique to the country.
