Älvkarleby

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§51) I hastened from here to ӒLVKARLEBY, which is divided into two parts by this great river that flows from Lake Leksand in Dalarna.15 Most of the town is on the southern side, and there is quite a town there with many merchants' stalls standing ready for market-day.

(§56) Ӓlvkarleby, 16 3/4 miles. On the northern side I saw some ancient burial mounds. Here, at last, I beheld something I had never seen in Scandinavia before, that is, 'Pulsatilla apii folio' [Pale Pasque Flower].

(§60) When I had travelled 6 3/4 miles from Ӓlvkarleby, we came to HARNӒS ironworks, which takes some of its ore from Dannemora in Roslagen and some from Ӓngsö in Södermanland. These works were burnt down by the Russians but have since been rebuilt.
