Geocache Description:

Långsjön

Ledtråd till finalen finns på loggbokens framsida. Använd spoilerbilden, flytta inte stenar.

Clue for the final can be found on front of the logbook. Use the spoiler picture, do not move stones.


Långsjön hade sitt utlopp till Dalälven, men genom dammarna vid Stensjön går vattnet nu till Sala och vidare till Mälaren. Dammluckan fanns inne i stugan, en dammvakt bodde här.

The runoff from this lake earlier went north to Dalälven. Dams were built north of the lake, and the water now runs south to the Mälar valley. The dam gate was inside the house, and a guard lived here.

Kraft behövdes vid Sala silvergruva för uppfordring av berg och till pumpar. I stort sett alla sjöar i närheten blev vattenmagasin, dammvallar byggdes och kanaler sprängdes och grävdes. Arbetena påbörjades på 1500-talet. Som mest fick man ut 39 hästkrafter vid gruvan.

Power was needed at the Sala silver mine for hoisting and pumping. Almost all lakes in the neighbourhood were used for water collection and storage, dams and canals were built starting in the 16th century. Maximum power obtained at the mine was 39 HP.
