Sweden
Someday we will visit Bergslagen or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Bergslagen

Bergslagen is a vaguely defined area in Svealand in central Sweden. It is known as the historical heartland of Swedish mining, metallurgy and industry. During the 20th century most mines closed down making Malmfälten in Kiruna Municipality the de facto centre of Swedish mining. However, several industrial and mining heritages remains including the two UNESCO World Heritage sites in Falun and Fagersta.

The conflict of interests between iron exports from Bergslagen and territorial conflicts at Denmark's southern border was a chief reason behind the Engelbrekt rebellion in 1434 and the following strifes that ultimately resulted in the dissolution of the Kalmar Union in 1523.
