Description

Trummelsbergsskogen is a popular forest area located a little northwest of Virsbo in Fagersta municipality. Here you can walk among lakes and pine trees along Bruksleden.

There are several lakes in the reserve where you can sit down for a coffee break, go fishing or perhaps take a dip. In winter, the area around Trummelsberg is known for the lakes freezing early, which is why it usually attracts cross-country skiers.

In the nature reserve and in its vicinity there are many cultural-historical remains from the time when iron was produced at Trummelsberg's ironworks. In the southern part of the area, for example, you can find several house foundations, a cinder block barn and a stone water channel that forms a partial boundary to the south. At the outlet of Sågsjön there used to be a dam. When the dam broke in the autumn of 2021, the water level dropped by more than a meter and half of the lake's water surface disappeared. The embankment was previously used by Bruksleden. The breaking of the dam has made passages across Sågsjöbäcken more difficult.
