Welcome to Smedjebacken
Smedjebacken is where the Strömsholm Canal begins, following the River Kolbäcksån through the beautiful countryside. The 110 km long channel runs from Lake Barken to Lake Mälaren. The stretch of the canal is just 12 km long in total, but include 26 locks and an overall change in elevation of 100 m. The canal is part of Ecomuseum Bergslagen, which also includes Flogberget Mine.
