Säffle Municipality

Säffle Municipality is an administrative region in Värmland that covers multiple former communities and stretches along much of Lake Vänern's shoreline. The area brings together different villages and waterfront landscapes into one unified municipality in western Sweden.

The current municipality formed in 1971 when the city of Säffle merged with surrounding rural areas. This combination created the modern structure that shapes the region today.

The municipality maintains multiple museums and art centers that present exhibitions about local traditions, while hosting summer festivals throughout its territory.

Visitors can reach the region by bus, which connects to larger cities and serves different parts of the municipality. The Ekenäs harbor also offers boat trips to nearby islands, providing an alternative way to explore the area.

The Millesvik Archipelago within the region preserves ancient runestones and monuments from early Nordic settlements. These archaeological remains reveal the long human presence in this lake area.
