Svartälven lives up to its name, as the water appears to be black as darkest night.
The tour starts at Tyfors and takes you south on narrow waters to Älvsjöhyttan.
On the way down to Silvergruvan the river runs through wilderness and only a few crofter`s holdings reminds of cilivication. After Silvergruvan the river gets narrower and takes the canoes further surrounded by woody Forrest before we reach Hällefors. Here there are opportunities to visit the centre and do some shopping. After half a day you reach Grythyttan. Please take a look at the wooden houses in the central parts from the 1700: Th century. You have also a chance to visit and eat at ”Måltidens Hus” The Swedish contribution to the World exhibition in Sevilla We then leave Grythyttan and again make for the wilderness. The journey continues through beautiful nature past Älvestorp to Blankafors. Here we get the feeling of being in an archipelago environment with all polished rocks and islets. If we are lucky we will se beavers and perhaps we can rest in one of all the small but fine bathing bays before we finally reach the target Brattfors, situated northwards from Karlskoga. The tour extends over 120 km and takes about 7 days. |
