- Today has two hundred and fifty visitors.

In previous years, we had over seven hundred people in one day in July, says Maaike Ulfvebrand, who is operations manager at Sala silver mine.

Last year it was closed, and despite contributions from Sala municipality, being able to reopen means a lot to the economy.
