The Blue Mountain story:

Kilsbergen is a fault escarpment running between Nora and Svartå (about 50 km as the crow flies). The ridge is 10–15 km wide. From the Närke plain, the escarpment is strikingly visible, giving it the name "De blå bergen" — the blue mountains — not because they are blue, but because under certain light conditions they appear to have a bluish sheen.
