A rustic idyll along Forsbacka älv
Forsbacka Bruk lies about 30 kilometres north of Söderfors and is a well-preserved ironworks from days gone by. Here history and modern family fun meet in an inspiring setting of old industrial buildings, beautiful dams and green surroundings along the river.
What’s here?
The works function as a kind of destination for several activities. There’s a museum telling the story of the ironworks era, a cosy café where you can grab something good to eat, and a play area loved by families with children. For those wanting to stay overnight, there are both campsites and motorhome pitches — many visitors highlight the peaceful and atmospheric setting for parking a motorhome.
Walk around the grounds and you’ll see the old factory buildings, the dam and rapids that gave the works its name and power. It’s a place that truly breathes history without feeling old-fashioned.
