Message from Monika Mizinska Momcilovic

Uskavi kalkbrott, located near Nora in Västmanland, is a hidden gem in Bergslagen known for its crystal-clear turquoise water. Owned by Björka Mineral, this former limestone quarry has become a popular spot for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking among tall pine trees. With a maximum depth of 11 meters, it attracts divers with unique underwater features like a set table and chairs. The area is home to fish like perch and crayfish, making it a picturesque destination year-round. Don't miss out on this tranquil oasis that feels like a slice of paradise in the heart of Sweden.
