Kopparberg

Kopparberg is a small town in Örebro County, Västmanland, Sweden, known for its historic mining heritage and the internationally recognized Kopparberg cider brand.

Kopparberg grew around copper mining, which gave the town its name (“Copper Mountain”). While mining has declined, the town is now better known for beverage production.

Kopparberg lies along the Bergslagen railway and is accessible by regional train from Örebro and Ludvika. Buses also connect from nearby towns.

The town is small enough to explore on foot. Bicycles can be useful for visiting nearby lakes and forests.
