You can also easily reach us by both train and bus. The walking distance from the bus station in the city center, to Koppardalen, is approximately 10 minutes.

Turn right again into the Koppardal area and follow the road straight ahead. After the second roundabout, turn right after about 100 meters towards the marked parking area and towards Verket.
From highway 70 heading south take the first exit to the right, marked Skogsbo. Then turn right towards Koppardalen. Follow the road straight ahead and across the bridge.

The empathy environment - Verket!
Among blast furnaces and martinverk, school classes are offered guided tours where, with presence and technical magic, we follow the iron's path from ore to steel.
Creative learning
The Corneliussalen offers ready-made learning environments, which have been built in the work to be a hub of the pedagogical development of the municipality, where one wants to benefit from Verkets inspiring environment for developing students' learning. The purpose is to put their creative ability in the foreground and to awaken the desire to learn.
