Adam Thiele cand. PhD

Hungary

The venue of the camp will be close to Lake Balaton, in Somogyfajsz, where a bloomery workshop with several furnaces from the 10th century was excavated over which a Bloomery Museum was erected. During this camp we will mine local bog iron, burn charcoal in a charcoal pile, build furnaces, smelt iron and forge the extracted iron blooms. The detailed program and other relevant information about the Iron Smelting Camp can be seen on the attached poster.
