Top 9 Caves ヴェルムランドでの

Valekullen and Ofredsboa are located in the middle of the forest and can be reached via this trail. Ofredsboa is a cave under a rocky outcrop. Women and children fled here during the war between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. From the cave, the trail leads up a wooden staircase and a steep climb to Valekullen Mountain. Signal fires were once lit here due to its highly visible location (four lakes and half of Blomskog).

This rocky, rooty, very overgrown, and at times steep trail with climbing sections is worth a visit. The entrance is somewhat hidden from the country road.

It's worth following the path for 2 kilometers to Storgruvan ("Great Pit"). The Källargruvan copper mine in the Mangen area was in operation from the 16th century until the early 20th century. The ore contained primarily chalcopyrite, from which only a few percent of copper could be extracted. Mining resulted in large waste dumps, and the shafts are now mostly filled with water. Oxidation led to the formation of striking blue-green shimmering minerals such as malachite and azurite in the mines.
