About the place

Living here

Blyberg is a small locality (småort) in Älvdalen municipality, Dalarna County, with 104 inhabitants. The locality has two village halls, Blybergs gamla and nya bystuga, which serve as meeting places, and a museum is nearby. Within three kilometres there are also a playground, the camp site Oxbergsbron, the parks Blyberget and Sågdammen and a couple of viewpoints. No grocery shop, school, health centre or petrol station is within three kilometres, so everyday life depends on a car. The area around the locality is ageing: about one in three is over sixty-five and just under one in five is under twenty. Blyberg suits those who want to live in a small place with nature and the village hall for company. Anyone who needs services at a short distance should choose a larger locality.
