Karlstad Things to Do

Again I point out to the surroundings of towns: the nature. In sweden it is free to put your tent anywhere you like. Again with the kind request to leave the place as you found it. If the ground belongs to someone it is - of course - prohibited to stay, unless you ask what are the possibilities (and you will be surprised how many there are). Camping in the wild, along the shores of one of the thousand lakes the country has, is a joy that you will not easily forget. Most lakes also offer an enormous amount of wateractivities, like boating, swimming, fishing.

If you come here during the summer you really should get out into the nature. There are many different ways to do that. Fishing,kajaking, walking, boattrip u name it
The scenery is really peaceful and relaxing. Its almost free!

If you like history and if you´d like to see how schools looked like,perhaps sit at a desk or see what they used to punish the students with in the 18-19th century. A visit to the small museum in the middle of karlstad is well worth a visit

Karlstad, like other swedish city has a lot of sculptures in the streets. This is a very funny one near the City Hall.

This is the River Klar which runs through the city of Karlstad...along with the Karlstad Theatre across the other side of the river... :)

Karlstad hasnt coast but it has a small beach near the city, in the river, where people can bath in summer.

The river Klaralven flows through the centre of Karlstad. It rises high in the Norwegian hills and forms a beautiful delta as in empties into Lake Vanern. Now there are a very nice park near it.

Make it out to Lake Vanern if you can. It is really beautiful! The lake is HUGE and looked like part of the ocean. We went fishing there and caught a 300 gram Abborre (Perch) which was fun.
