| 1. Trip starts.. |
 |
 |
The idyllic scenery of swimming beach is distracted by something in the bush. It's hiding, but leafless trees cannot hide it completely.
|

 |
Closer range. Expecting to see burned ruins, this was a slightly positive surprise - there are actually buildings left.
|
|---|
 |
Well, on the other hand, a lot has disappeared, and more will follow.
|
|---|
 |
There is no smoke stack, only this puny pipe stands a bit above the roofs.
|

 |
*omg* the "local OGK" has stroken here.
|

 |
Finding an access point is no issue. A few of the holes seem to be cut for airsofting.
|
|---|
 |
There is graffiti, but the place is not full of it. This one was very fresh.
|
|---|
 |
This part hasn't burned very seriously.

 |
Virenoja's narrow gauge..
|

 |
The storeys lacked great details, so rather quick checking.
|
|---|
 |
Stairs felt unsafe, but they lasted.
|

 |
One floor below.
|
|---|
 |
Remaining production machines, which were not so outdated in 1960's. They had oil burners, rotomixair dryers and other equipment.
|
|---|
 |
Another room with threatening texts written on the walls.
|
|---|
 |
From a small storage room we find a shelf, almost empty, but there is something..
|
|---|
 |
Maybe a rather indirect connection, but this firm owned the now-burned sawmill of Skogby after closing.
|
|---|
 |
Exiting to backyard..
|
|---|
 |
Half of the walls missing, and the building is standing!
|
|---|
 |
Another manhole in wall.
|
|---|
 |
All existing buildings were built of own bricks. The chicken or the egg?
|
|---|
 |
There is no kiln, but it was located about here. Apparently it was razed down after fire.
