Grythyttan is a town in Hällefors municipality, Västmanland, Sweden.

[edit] Get in

The town has a train station and a bus stop. Or, if you have your own transport, the drive from Stockholm is straightforward and takes around 2-2.5 hours.

[edit] Get around

You can walk all around the town centre.

[edit][add listing] See

The historical town centre. The slate quarry. Måltidens hus, a gastronomic academy housed in what was Sweden's pavilion at the '94 World's Fair.

And the forests and lakes of course.

[edit][add listing] Do

Take a walk around the lake, head to the swimming area marked on the tourist information office's map and then pick a path through pine and birch forest along side the lake. Swimming in the lake is also on the cards, but far too cold on the damp early autumn morning I was there. Water is crystal and bottom sandy however, so on a sunnier day it might be just the ticket.

Grythyttans gästgivaregård is a nationally famous inn. Expensive, but great food.

The inn noted above can put you up very comfotably, at a price.

There was what seems to be a rather informal campsite by the one of the lakes if that's more your thing.
