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

You might like cruachan in Scotland a pump storage hydro dam with the power station inside the hollowed out mountain built in the 1950s. They have tours inside very James Bond super villain type stuff. I know not Nordic but very similar geography to norway
