Idyllic industrial setting at Brevens Bruk

This small community is a beautiful and, in many ways, unspoiled industrial setting. The entire area is designated as a cultural landscape of national interest and, in addition to the old ironworks buildings, features a manor house, a museum, and a church. Feel free to take a stroll among all the beautiful and often unique buildings. In many ways, the yellow-plastered buildings are more reminiscent of the ironworks in Uppland than those in Bergslagen.

The Midsummer celebration in this small village is a tradition dating back 200 years that draws large crowds of visitors from near and far to celebrate the highlight of the summer.

Brevens Bruk is surrounded by nature, with both forests and a lake. Here you can fish and swim, pick berries and mushrooms, and enjoy lovely walks in beautiful surroundings. There are also mountain bike trails and an 18-hole disc golf course. The area also features a café, restaurant, and pub, as well as vacation rentals of various sizes and prices both within and outside the community itself. Additionally, the area offers excellent hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as the Röda Sand swimming spot.

Scenes from days gone by

Take a journey through time in Bergslagen

Just north of Örebro, you can visit the country’s oldest train station—a cultural heritage site dating back to the golden age of ironworking—and see an 18th-century miner’s farmstead so large that it was popularly known as “the castle.”

Cultural history, play, and nature in Karlslund

Karlslund has something for the whole family. Shops and gardens, green spaces, and walking trails. Plus fun activities for children of all ages.

Four brown statues can be seen in the distance among the blades of grass.

The unique sculpture park "Art on High"

At the top of the Kvarntorpshögen industrial heritage site, “Konst på hög” awaits. Just take a stroll among works by some of the country’s leading artists.
