Gränsfors Village
In some places, history and tradition converge with modern times in a completely natural way. One such place is Gränsfors. A vibrant culture of craft and industry has thrived here for hundreds of years. Mills, stove-builders, breweries, sawmills, forges and much more have been in operation along the river at one time or another.
When you visit Gränsfors, dont miss out on these things nearby.
VILLAGES NEARBY
10 km west of Gränsfors is the village Bergsjö. Here lives about 1,500 people and coming from Gränsfors, this is the nearest place to find supermarket, ATM and gas station. In Bergsjö is also the bus station where buses run daily to Hudiksvall and Sundsvall.
10 km east of Gränsfors, at the motorway E4, is the village Gnarp. Here floats Gnarpsån and here you can visit Gnarps church from the late 1700’s. From Gnarp you can also take the train and bus to Sundsvall and Hudiksvall and coaches to Stockholm.
The village of Högen is a peaceful spot just south of Bergsjö, beautifully situated beside the lakes of Kyrksjön and Storsjön, and clearly illustrates the long history of iron in the local area. You can see graves and ruins and imagine life back in the 6th century. Access to the sea, the social life of the village and bog iron are essential building blocks in the history of iron. This was an import site during the Iron Age, as is shown in a small exhibition in a nearby log cabin. Contact Nordanstig Municipality for more information. www.nordanstig.se
