Ekomuseum Bergslagen

The Ekomuseum Bergslagen spans 200 kilometers and encompasses 70 different locations showcasing industrial heritage sites, mines, and historical manufacturing facilities throughout the region.

Established in 1986, the museum network preserves numerous industrial sites, including Hammarbacken ironworks, which King Gustav Vasa founded in 1550 as one of Sweden's first iron production facilities.

The museum network maintains original machinery, buildings, and equipment that tell the story of local mining communities and iron production traditions in the Bergslagen region.

Visitors can explore multiple locations through guided tours or independent visits, with access to hiking trails connecting various historical sites and manufacturing facilities.

The museum includes the Flogberget Iron Mine, which operated from the 17th to early 20th century, featuring original mining structures and underground passages.
