Borgvik

One day we did an excursion to Borgvik. We lured the kids to come along with the promise to go eat some ice cream, but we also did some walking around the area.

Here at the Borgvik mill they started production of iron in the 17th century. The iron was exported to many places across the world, for example the Eiffel Tower in Paris is partly built with iron here from Borgvik.

Then we found a lake where the kids could go swimming for a bit. They really enjoyed jumping off this pontoon. It was rather chilly, probably our last swim for the summer I would think!
