    Every place name hides a story. This is an account of what happened. Read and learn. And come and visit! From exciting history to living heritage. kramfors kramfors’ cultural heritage Babelsberg. kramfors’ cultural heritage When the sawmills began to develop along the great Ångermanälven riverbanks many sought work in Kramfors. The population grew rapidly. At some point everyone visited the fun temple and temperance fort Babel Mountain. Kramfors municipality covers a vast area and contains a wide range of geological and cultural attractions. Ancient remains, medieval churches and old fishing places relate an exciting history amid grandiose scenery. The area has been inhabited for thousands of years – first by nomadic hunters, later by farmers and fishermen. Many small ironworks formed in the 18th century, while the mid-19th century witnessed the growth of the sawmill industry. The first sawmill was actually built in 1744, where Kramfors stands today. But the large scale timber industry, that has made the name Kramfors famous, only really started when the steam engine was introduced in Sweden. Ådalen’s industrial landscape then began to take form. Sawmill after sawmill established and small communities appeared. Timber that was felled far inland was floated on the great rivers down to the coastal sawmills. In the 20th century, sawmills gave way to pulp and paper mills. Today, many of these mills are gone, but historical traces survive. All over the district you can find remains from the life and work of previous generations. 3 kramfors’ cultural heritage 90 Södra Ådalsvägen 1.

  • Konsekvenser Och Behov Av Åtgärder – Kramfors Kommun
    Länsstyrelsen Västernorrland Rapport nr 2014:14 Konsekvenser och behov av åtgärder Klimatförändringar i Kramfors kommun Omslagsbild: Ö i Indalsälven Fotograf: Oskar Norrgrann Beställare: Länsstyrelsen Västernorrland, Viveka Öberg Konsult: Tyréns AB Uppdragsansvarig: Maria Larsson, INDEA Länsstyrelsen Västernorrlands publikationsserie Rapport nr 2014:14 ISSN 1403-624X Denna rapport går att få i alternativt format. Sida 3 av 109 2014-06-10 Dnr 424-764-14 Sammanfattning Kramfors kommun kan med utgångspunkt från den här rapporten ta sig an risker och möjligheter med ett förändrat klimat. Klimatförändringarna handlar för kommunens del framför allt om att det blir varmare och blötare. Fram till 2040 förväntas årsmedeltemperaturen att vara ca 2,5 grader högre än under referensperioden 1961-1990. Mot slutet av århundradet förväntas årsmedeltemperaturen ha ökat med ca 5 grader. Vintern påverkas mest, med upp emot 7 grader varmare än under referensperioden. Årsmedelnederbörden under ett medelår förväntas i slutet av århundradet att vara runt 20 procent mer än under referensperioden, med den största ökningen under vintern. Vegetationsperioden kommer troligen att förlängas med ca 20 dagar till år 2040 och med drygt en månad till år 2100. Risk för extrema flöden i de stora vattendragen bedöms inte öka, tvärtom kan vårfloden bli lite lägre men komma tidigare. Det totala flödet kommer dock att öka. Det kommer också att bli risk för höga vattennivåer under hösten på grund av stora nederbördsmängder. Fler flödestoppar kan öka den kontinuerliga erosionen och successivt leda till skador på slänter. Kraftiga regn speciellt under höst- och vinterhalvåret då marken ofta är vattenmättad kan också komma att orsaka översvämningar av VA-system och bebyggelse, och skapa problem med erosion, ras, skred och slamströmmar.
