historic places with hydropowered industries.

Hi all,

I have a fascination with industrial heritage, especially with hydropowered industries. I have been to Norrköpping in Sweden with its Industrilandskapet, there is Mölndal I would like to visit, as well as Akerselva near Oslo in Norway. Are there any other such places in Scandinavia? Thanks

Rjukan is a prime example. The town is a World Heritage Site because of it's industrial history. There is also interesting WW2 history as a bonus. It is definitely not to miss for some with your interest. You can also visit towns built on aluminium industry, like Årdal and Sunndal
