Ruud Streefkerk

This log cabin is located in the open air Forest museum Siljansfors-Mora, where the story of the historic Swedish timber industry is told. About the logging industry itself, to charcoal-fired furnaces and forges for the extraction of iron ore. Scattered around the site are a number of old log cabins that were part of the industrial process and for housing of the workers. Apart from a 7000-year-old tree trunk, there are also permanent exhibitions of all kinds of tools for sawing, ploughing and transport of the felled wood. Although a fairly complete image is given of the industry that provided livelihood for the population in this part of the country for a long time, I personally didn’t spot that much interesting objects, but that is a matter of taste.....
