1/2 or a whole day excursion
Visiting:The Ecclesiastical Museum, the Bridges at Tallberg, Nyåker, Olofsfors foundry, perhaps a lunch at the Olofsfors Estate, Nordahl statue in Hörnefors, the Nordahl Museum, Nordmaling's medieval church, Klas Engman's Museum, Håknäsbacken.

Those of you who remember the bungy jumping in the Gevalia adverts can expect the unexpected, the bridges at Tallberg were featured in the dizzying jump over the beautiful Öre river. We'll be tasting Nyåker's gingerbread while listening to the history of the bridges and the fascinating story of immigrants Jennings and Finlay who became filthy rich from their business during the 18th century. Their extensive activities included, amongst others Olofsfors and Robersfors foundries.

A real trip of inspiration for budding entrepreneurs!
