Geocache Description:


Langt inne på skogen, der Sikåa renner ut i Møkeren, finner man rester av over 300 år gammel industrihistorie. I 1690 var de første dambyggerne i sving med å temme vannkraften i Sikåa, og i 1703 var det sagbruk i gang her. Etter hvert vokste det fram et lite industrisamfunn, og i 1849 anla svensken John Milander et spikerverk her som var i drift fram til 1865.
Idag er det bare ruiner igjen.


English
Deep in the forest, where the small river Sikåa joins lake Møkeren, you can see remains of over 300 years old industrial history. In 1690 they started taming the river, and in 1703 the first sawmill was in place. Over the years the place grew, and in 1849 a swedish man named John Milander built a factory here for producing nails. The factory closed in 1865, and the sawmill in 1875.
Today there is only ruins left.
