Geocache Description:

Välkommen till området kring Lummelundagrottan. En liten serie geocacher som tar dig runt området. Här börjar äventyret!

Eng: Welcome to the area around Lummelunda cave. There is a small series of geocaches that takes you around the area. The adventure starts here!


Lummelunds bruk har bestått av ett flertal kvarnar, några var sågkvarnar, men också ett järnbruk. Järnmalmen fraktades hit från Stockholms skärgård. Dess storhetstid var under åren 1594-1663. Därefter förföll verksamheten mer och mer även om olika personer försökte få igång det hela igen. Vid 1800-talets början anlades ett mindre pappersbruk här som drevs fram till 1885. Under den tiden byggdes också en stor herrgård på platsen.

Idag är området mest känt för Lummelundagrottan som upptäcktes 1954. Men det finns också en naturstig i den gamla Bruksparken (se GC159A4) och en geologisk naturstig.

English: Lummelund Works used to consist of several mills, some were sawmills, but also an ironworks. Iron ore was transported here from the Stockholm archipelago. Its heyday was during the years 1594-1663. Then the area and its activities decayed more and more, even if different people tried to start it all over again. At the beginning of the 1800s a small paper mill was built here and it operated until 1885. During that time, a large mansion was also built on the site.

Today the area is best known for Lummelunda cave which was discovered in 1954, but there is also a nature trail in the Old Mill Park (see GC159A4) and a geological nature trail.
