After a weekend visiting both Vättern and Vänern lakes with surroundings, it's time to get back to Stockholm
At Krampen, I'm making a stop to see some trains and a place called "Rysstenen"
From
Ekomuseum Bergslagen:
"Krampen used to be one of the stations along the KURJ railway. The station is today demolished. it remains only one small building. During the Second World War, there was a large Russian camp here. Russian soldiers who had fled the war, were gathered here, in one of many places like it in the area of Bergslagen, well hidden in the wood."
At the end of the war the Russian soldiers were sent back to Sovjet union, where they were treated as traitors and most probably ended up in Gulag camps. There were totally 2500 people that were sent back.
This is how the station in Krampen looked like.
A short car ride from the station, I'm on my way to another sight related to the Russian camp.

This place is called "Rysstenen" which is a boulder where Russian soldiers inscribed "СССР 1944"
