Every design for Forshaga

At the Dyvelsten log-driving museum the memory lives on of the timber once steered down the Klarälven. Here, in central Värmland, Forshaga lies on the river bank a little north of the delta around Karlstad, where the water finally runs out into Vänern.

It is a place where history feels close. The burial mounds bear witness to life far back in time, and the ancient Stone Age boat tells of people who travelled the same water that still shapes the district. At the general store museum and the school museum, everyday life from vanished days comes alive again, while the narrow-gauge NKlJ railways recall a time when the tracks tied Värmland together.

Wearing the map of Forshaga becomes a way of keeping that river-close sense of belonging with you, wherever you go.
