Today the former mine office houses a country inn and an intimate live-music stage hosting leading Swedish folk, jazz, singer-songwriter, and pop artists throughout the year.
Åkers Bergslag and the Sörmlandsleden trail
Around the inn, waterwheels, slag heaps, mine shafts, and a mining museum preserve the industrial heritage of Åkers Bergslag. The Sörmlandsleden trail and local canoe routes pass directly by the surrounding forest lakes.
Combining industrial history, forest trails, and live music, Skottvångs Grufva is a popular nearby excursion from Åkers styckebruk and Mariefred.
