A popular touristic collecting site. The name if translated means "the place with peridot". Here colorful samples of rocks and pods of olivine/peridote - found in the nearby Gusdal olivine pit in Almklovdalen- is dumped. This is by courtesy of the Sibelco company to the joy of collectors and tourists.
A touristic pamphlet produced by the municipality with detailed map is found in the link below.
