Hiking

A nature reserve with old remains of an ironworks. Some of the ruins are located near the river Bräkneån, which is fed by the large lake Tiken and whose water power was formerly needed for the operation of the old facilities. At the small waterfall of the river there used to be a big hammer smithy, in whose wall remnants one can still partially recognize the bearings of the water wheels and the hammers. Nearby you will find the remnants of the former coal and Erzbunker, near which also has the blast furnace.

An ironworks was established at the rapids of the Bräkneån in the late 1700s. In 1748 the name was changed from Bräken to Stenfors. In the mid-19th century the ironworks and hammer mill were expanded into an industrial complex where furnaces and agricultural tools were formed. The plant ceased operations around 1900.
