Ryttarens torvströfabrik, the Ryttarens peat litter factory, is preserved as a museum. Peat extraction in Sweden today isn't big business, and my guess is most people don't even know it's happening. These days, it's mainly used in gardening, but also for stuff like insulation, fish tanks and whiskey making. Ryttarens museum is open to the public in summer. You can ride the little sturdy train out on the moss and see how peat was extracted back in the day. Pictured is a detail from an old locomotive.
