 The Ecomuseum Bergslagen: Want to know more? Bergslagen
Bergslagen is the name given to a large, diffuse area in central Sweden that covers several districts—Värmland, Närke, Västmanland, Dalarna, Uppland and Gästrikland.
The medieval town of Norberg had its own court of law in the year 1400, and it is thought that it was here that the word Bergslag was first used to denote a geographical region.
When the word Bergslagen was first used on medieval maps and documents, it referred to a smaller area, embracing east Värmland, west and north Västmanland, north Närke and south Darlarna.

The Bergslagen District in southern Sweden extends over an arcuate area of approximately 200x50 km some 150 km west of Stockholm and hosts a range of ore deposits that have been exploited over a long historical period.
In the Bergslagen district they form a 2000 m thick succession which varies from potash rich to extreme soda rich types (quartz-keratophyres) with subrodinate intermediate volcanics.
Gold mineralisation is also found overprinting the iron mineralisation, but is believed to be a younger replacement of favourable iron oxide rich units.

Another determination of zircons from a similar pyroclastic flow deposit at the lowest known stratigraphic level east of Hällefors in W. Bergslagen in the westernmost part of the volcanic belt gave an age of 1891±4 Ma.
This age is consistent with previously published ages for metavolcanic rocks in W. Bergslagen.
The age of the onset of volcanism in W. Bergslagen is not possible to determine because the lowermost sections of all known volcanic successions are truncated by intrusive rocks.
