View from Bastkärn to Fjällberget

July 17th, 2008 Peter Korkala

This photo is taken from Bastkärn, a tiny, tiny village less than 10 km from my home. The village in the valley is Silverhöjden, another tiny, tiny village here. At the horizon you can see mount Fjällberget, the highest mountain in this area (466 m). The border between my (Ljusnarsberg’s) municipality and the northern neighbor, Ludvika, is somewhere in the forest between Silverhöjden and Fjällberget. The road on the photo is called R50, and is the main road around here. During the winter the trucks are having big problems getting uphill here, at least when it’s snowing.

There are five wind power stations in the Fjällberget area, and they’re planning on building between 15-20 additional wind power stations there. I don’t mind though, I think they’re kind of beautiful to look at, and the energy generated is very environmentally friendly. I have some great (close up) photos in my archive from the construction of these wind power stations, I have to post them here some day.
