Varmland Attractions

Värmland lies in central Sweden to the north and northwest of Lake Vänern, extending to the Norwegian frontier. The beauty of the province lies in its scenic variety, its alternation between uplands, expanses of plain and its many lakes. Although archaeological finds have shown that the region was inhabited in the Stone Age, it was only thinly populated in the medieval period. In those days there was an active border trade with Norway, and this was also a route by which Christianity made its way from Norway into Sweden.
