Every design for Säffle

In the middle of Värmland, where the Byälven ties Glafsfjorden to Vänern, lies Säffle. The town is crossed by both the Norway/Vänern line and the major roads E18 and E45, which makes it an obvious junction in the landscape. As the main town of its municipality, Säffle has a clear place on the map, with neighbours such as Åmål, Arvika, Grums and Karlstad within reach.

Those who know the town also recognise places such as the Silvén villa, the Canal stone and the green breathing spaces in Äppelparken and Södra Sifhälla park. Harefjorden belongs to the picture too.

There is something about seeing your own town drawn in lines and names - the waterway winding through, the parks, the familiar routes. That kind of detail to carry with you, for anyone whose heart is still by the Byälven.
