Talk:Bergslagen

Latest comment: 14 years ago by 194.144.37.67


QUESTION: Wouldn't it be more appropriate to translate "Bergslagen" to "Bedrock's Law" rather than "Mountain's Law"? The area is not really mountainous, but more hilly and uneven with rounded shapes of the landscape (depending of course on how you define a mountain). Thus the Swedish word "berg" probably points to the English word "bedrock", because of the mining activity that was (and still is to some extent) very common in the area around hundred years ago. For example "berg i dagen" is translated to "bedrock outcrops" (see this picture from the Bergslagen area and read the description for the red colored areas: http://info1.ma.slu.se/IM/station/KindMark.jpg). //Aaron (20th April 2010) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.144.37.67 (talk) 09:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
