Mariebergsskogen

Mariebergsskogen is Karlstad City Park. It was a gift to the City of Karlstad in 1896 from Dr Conrad Höök. Visit the farm animals in Lillskogen, the Play Garden and Naturum Värmland. Mariebergsskogen has good food, lovely cafées and great ice cream. And lots of space for swimming and outdoor life - very close to the city centre. Free admission, free parking, open dayily all year round.

Marbacka Minnesgard

Reviewed By 300kristak - Stockholm, Sweden

Marbacka is a place to visit when exploring Värmland. I liked the garden that was very well maintained and beautiful. If you want to know more about the life and work of Selma Laggerlöf, you should definitely take a guided tour that takes ca 45 minutes (this is the only way to get in the house). The guided tour was very informative and good.

What a gem this museum is! This lovely place has something for everybody. The buildings are very interesting from an architectural and engineering aspect, as the “cottage” is built like a piece of perfect furniture. But the art is the real breath taker, and also very moving. This marvellous place has something for everyone. Don’t miss it!

I would love to recommend this amazing experience! Me and my husband got to meet, pet and feed, 3 beautiful moose cows. Doris, Lotta and Elsa :) you could really tell that they are living a relaxed and happy life! And if you wish to know more about these gorgeous animals, the knowledgeable gude (who been taking care of the moose and their forest for over 7 years) will be happy to answer all your questions and to teach you all you could ever wish to know! So, a huge thanks to our guide! It warms my heart to know that there are people caring for the forests and wildlife by the love for nature and the kindness of their hearts, rather than the love for profit. 100sek/person is a smal price to pay for this experience, and you know it is well spent! I wish these guys and the moose the best of luck!
