Fjäl

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§149) As the sun was setting I came to Finnsta and travelled on in the evening to FJӒL. Here I had to cross a river that split into two, thus creating an island and making it necessary to cross by means of 2 ferries.

(§154) 19th. Departed from Fjäl. When I had travelled 1 3/4 miles and come in sight of the next church - at a place called HӒSSJÖ - I turned off to the left to a hill where there was said to be copper ore. It shone just like copper but the pyrites was markedly whitish-yellow, an unmistakeable sign that it mainly contains iron. Eroded, blackish stone lay all around on the same hill. The mine had not yet been dug any deeper and wider than the height of a man. The hill is called BӒLINGSBERGET.
