Hälsingland

The Swedish province of Hälsingland is known for its spectacular nature and carefully preserved cultural highlights – UNESCO World Heritage Sites included. The depth of the forest of Hälsingland – located in northeast Sweden – is almost overwhelming in its vastness. But there’s more to it than endless woods – the nature you get to experience spans mountain ranges, valleys and archipelago.

An important part of Hälsingland’s cultural heritage, these timber abodes form part of what is collectively known as ‘Hälsingegårdar’ (the Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland) – a collection that was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 2012.
