Description

Från hyttområdet i Riddarhyttan slingrar sig den brusande Forsån söderut mot länsgränsen. På flera platser längs med ån finns spår av Bergslagens järnhantering, som hyttruiner och dammar.

I vattnet lever bland annat den utrotningshotade flodpärlmusslan. Här trivs många fågelarter som letar bon i håliga träd och mat i det strömmande vattnet. Läng med flera delar av ån kan du se spår efter bävrar, som fällda träd, dammar och hyddor.
